Configuring FTP Scans
Some malware threats are specifically developed to spread through the FTP protocol. By default,
the STM scans FTP traffic, but you can specify how the STM scans FTP traffic and which action is
taken when a malware threat is detected.
To configure the FTP scan settings:
1. Select Web Security > FTP from the menu. The FTP screen displays (see Figure 4-19 on
page 4-42).
Table 4-14. Trusted Hosts Settings

delete table button.

button to add the host to the Host field.
Import from File To import a list with trusted hosts into the Host field, click the Browse button

one host per line). Then, click the upload table button to add the hosts to the
Host field.
Note: Any existing hosts in the Host field are overwritten when you import a list
of hosts from a file.
