Active

The Active connection has the following settings:

Local Address: This is the IP address of the server hosting the port to which
Managed File Transfer
is listening. If available, you can also select it from the drop-down list.
External Address: The address on which the server will claim to listen for the data port. Useful when the server is behind a NAT firewall and the client sees a different address than the server is using.
Validate IP: This option specifies if the server should check if the IP address for the data connection is the same as for the control port. If the IP is not valid, the connection will fail. If left blank, the default is No.
Port: The ports on which the server is allowed to accept Passive Data Connections. Multiple port numbers are comma delimited. The text box also accepts ranges separated with hyphens. Ranges and single port numbers can be mixed (i.e. 60000-61000, 61052, 63000-65535). Valid port numbers are from 1 to 65535, however many ports below 1024 are reserved by the operating system and other programs.
