2. Complete the fields, select the checkboxes, and make your selections from the pull-down
menus as explained in
Table 4-15. FTP Scan Settings
Setting Description
Action
FTP Action
Scan Exception
From the pull-down menu, specify one of the following actions when a file or object exceeds the size
that you specify in the file size field:
• Skip. The file or object is not scanned but skipped, leaving the end user vulnerable. This is the default
setting.
• Block. The file or object is blocked and will not reach the end user.
The default and maximum file sizes are:
• For the STM600 and STM300, the default setting is to block any file or object larger than 10240 KB.
The maximum file size that you can specify is 51200 KB.
• For the STM150, the default setting is to block any file or object larger than 8192 KB. The maximum
file size that you can specify is 25600 KB.
Note: Setting the maximum file size to a high value might affect the STM's performance. NETGEAR
recommends the default value, which is sufficient to detect the vast majority of threats.
Block Files with the Following Extensions
Select the checkbox to enable file extension blocking. By default, the File Extension field lists the most
common file extensions that will be detected. You can manually add or delete extensions. Use commas
to separate different extensions. To narrow down the extensions to specific categories only, first delete
the extensions from the File Extension field, and then make a selection from the pull-down menu:
• None. The most common file extensions are listed without being narrowed down to a category. This is
the default setting.
• Executables. The File Extension field lists executable file extensions.
• Audio/Video. The File Extension field lists audio and video file extensions.
• Compressed Files. The File Extension field lists compressed file extensions.
3. Click Apply to save your settings.
Content Filtering and Optimizing Scans
Table 4-15.
From the FTP pull-down menu, specify one of the following actions when an
infected FTP file or object is detected:
• Quarantine file. The file is placed in quarantine, and a log entry is
created.
• Delete file. This is the default setting. The FTP file or object is deleted,
and a log entry is created.
• Log only. Only a log entry is created. The FTP file or object is not deleted.
