NOTE
If a vsftpd server is used and you want anonymous users to be able to upload
files or create directories, a subdirectory with writing permissions for all users
has to be created in the anonymous FTP directory.

28.5 Expert Settings

A FTP server can run in active or in passive mode. By default the server runs in passive
mode. To switch into the active mode, just uncheck Enable Passive Mode option in
Expert Settings dialog. You can also change the range of ports on the server used for
the data stream by tweaking the Min Port for Pas. Mode and Max Port for Pas. Mode
options.
If you want encrypted communication between clients and the server, you can use the
FTPS protocol (FTP/SSH). However note that FTPS is different from the much more
common SFTP (SSH File Transport Protocol) protocol. If you want to use the FTPS,
you can set SSL options in the Expert Settings dialog.
If your system is protected by a firewall, check Open Port in Firewall to enable a con-
nection to the FTP server.
