Here are some benefits of using FTPS:
- Enhanced Security: FTPS provides a high level of security and protects sensitive data during transmission by encrypting it with SSL/TLS. This encryption makes it difficult for hackers to intercept the data or steal sensitive information.
- Reliable File Transfer: FTPS provides a reliable and efficient method for transferring files, ensuring that files are transferred successfully without errors or data loss.
- Compliance: FTPS is compliant with industry standards such as PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOX, making it suitable for industries that handle sensitive data and require compliance with these regulations.
By default, when set an FTP connection the SSL method is explicit (21 port) but you can set the FTP in implicit mode by editing settings
In FTPS implicit, (990 port) the SSL/TLS negotiation is performed immediately upon establishing a connection between the client and server, and the FTP client must use a secure SSL/TLS connection from the start.
This means that the FTP client and server cannot communicate without SSL/TLS encryption and the data transferred between them is encrypted throughout the entire session.
One of the main drawbacks of FTPS implicit is that it is not compatible with NAT (Network Address Translation) devices, which can cause problems when trying to establish a connection with an FTP server that is behind a NAT device.
In contrast, explicit FTPS is a more modern and widely used method of securing FTP connections.
In explicit FTPS, the FTP client initiates an SSL/TLS negotiation after connecting to the FTP server, allowing the connection to be established without encryption and then upgraded to encryption if both the client and server support it.
- On the Auto-mount Center, create a new connection and set FTP directory as protocol.
- Set the address of the remote FTP server and the credentials.
- Define the local directory to access to the remote FTP resource
- Select the link on the source table in order to edit FTP parameters.
- Turn on the FTP SSL option.
