Http And Ftp File Transfer Modes - Polycom MGC Administrator Administrator's Manual

HTTP and FTP File Transfer Modes

Files can be transferred using either an HTTP or an FTP connection. HTTP
mode solves Firewall issues, PSOS limitations in the FTP mode and
addresses security issues occurring in FTP. When selecting FTP mode, either
an Active or Passive FTP connection can be enabled. Firewall issues can be
solved by setting the MCU to Passive FTP mode. This is useful when the
MGC Manager is within the Firewall zone and the MCU (hosted MCU) is
outside the zone.
To set HTTP or FTP connection mode
1. In the Options menu, select FTP Configurations:
The FTP Configurations dialog box opens.
2. To set the connection mode to HTTP, select Use HTTP connection.
When the HTTP mode is active, Enable Passive FTP Connection is
greyed out.
