Proxy Tab

These options are only needed if your system uses a proxy server to make HTTP(S) connections. The Proxy tab contains the following fields:

Proxy Type: Managed File Transfer
supports SOCKS (version 4 and 5), HTTP tunneling through an HTTP proxy and
Managed File Transfer
Gateway. Check with the network administrator for the correct proxy type.
Host: The host name (or IP address) of the proxy server on your network.
Alternate Host: The host name or IP address of an alternate proxy server. The alternate proxy server is used when the primary proxy server is unavailable.
Port: The port number of the proxy server on your network. If left blank, the default port for an HTTP connection is 80 and SOCKS is 1080.
User: The user name (login name) to use for connecting to the proxy server.
Password: The password to use for connecting to the proxy server. This is only needed if your network uses a proxy server to make HTTP(S) connections. After entering the password, you can optionally click the
Encrypt
button, which will encrypt the password when it is stored in
Managed File Transfer
's database.

If you do not wish to store the password for the proxy server, the password can be supplied when executing a Project.
Is Password Encrypted: Indicates whether or not the password is encrypted. You should select
Yes
if you clicked the
Encrypt
button for the Proxy Password.
