FTP server address

The name of the FTP server where the PUTFTP command will be issued (from alarm action or Script using direct PUTFTP command).

FTP Server Port

Port used by the FTP server, the usual configuration port is 21.

Username

The FTP client username defined on the FTP server.

Password

The password for the given FTP client.

Use Passive Mode

When checked, all FTP transactions are performed in passive mode.

In passive mode, the client still initiates a command channel (control connection) to the server.

However, instead of sending the PORT command, it sends the PASV command, which is basically a request for a server port to connect to for data transmission.

When the FTP server replies, it indicates what data port number it has opened for the ensuing data transfer.
