# 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.
