FTP/FTPS Access Supported AFP Clients The SnapServer supports MacOS 9.x and 10.x clients. FTP/FTPS Access FTP and FTPS settings are configured on the Network > FTP screen of the Administration Tool. FTPS adds encryption to FTP for increased security. By default, FTP and FTPS clients can access the server using the anonymous user account, which is mapped to the SnapServer's guest user account and AllUsers group account. You can set share access and file access for anonymous FTP users by modifying permissions for these accounts. For more granular control over FTP access, you must create local user accounts for FTP users. SnapServer also supports explicit FTPS (i.e., FTPES or Auth TLS). Note If standard FTP is enabled, only the data channel is encrypted for FTPS connections-the control channel (including user password) is not encrypted. To force FTPS to encrypt the control channel as well, disable standard FTP. Supported FTP Clients SnapServers have been tested with the most common FTP clients and work as expected based on the commands required by RFC 959. SnapServers have been proven to work with these products for standard FTP: Internet Explorer 6.0 and later, Safari 2.0 and later, and FireFox 2.0 and later. Note Most standard FTP clients do not support FTPS. A client designed to support FTPS is required for FTPS connections. To connect to the server through FTPS: • Configure your FTPS client application to use explicit FTPS (i.e., FTPES or "Auth TLS"). • Enter the SnapServer's server name or IP address. 36 SnapServer Administrator Guide
