Select FTP protocol

The following capabilities must be enabled on the source and destination machines for the following FTP protocol selection to function properly.

  • FTP (server to server). See Figure 7-1. FTP (server to server).

    • Either the source or the destination environment needs to allow outgoing connections to a third party

    • FTP PORT command must be enabled on one of the environments

    • FTP PASV command must be enabled on the other environment

    Figure 7-1. FTP (server to server)

  • FTP (active).

    • PORT command must be enabled on both the source and destination environments (allows outgoing back to the requestor)

      • Figure 7-2. FTP (active)

  • FTP (passive).

    • PASV must be enabled on both the source and destination environments. In this configuration, the PPM server sends a command to the source or destination instructing that environment to open a port. The PPM server then connects to that port.
