Ftp Connection - F-SECURE INTERNET GATEKEEPER FOR LINUX 4.01 Administrator's Manual

5.1.4 FTP Connection

• Without virus scanning
To send and receive files, the FTP client connects to an FTP server directly by using the FTP
protocol.
• With virus scanning
When virus scanning is used, Internet Gatekeeper stands between the client and server and
operates as a proxy server for the FTP client. The client connects to the FTP server through
Internet Gatekeeper. The client sends and receives files that have been scanned for viruses. If the
FTP client does not support a proxy server, Internet Gatekeeper usually connects to the
designated parent server. However, you can specify that the connection is created to any FTP
server. To do this, specify the FTP user name in the format "<FTP server user name>@<FTP
server name>".
