is listening. If available, you can also select it from the drop-down list.
Enabled: If set to Yes, the Data Connection for the Listener will attempt a traditional FTP connection to establish the data port.
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.
