An FTP server can run in active or in passive mode. By default the server runs in passive
mode. To switch into active mode, just uncheck Enable Passive Mode option in Expert
Settings dialog. You can also change the range of ports on the server used for the data
stream by tweaking the Min Port for Pas. Mode and Max Port for Pas. Mode options.
If you want encrypted communication between clients and the server, you can Enable
SSL. Check the versions of the protocol to be supported and specify the DSA certicate
to be used for SSL encrypted connections.
If your system is protected by a rewall, check Open Port in Firewall to enable a con-
nection to the FTP server.
