File Transfer / FTP
This category only appears if VanDyke Software's SecureFX® 3.0 (or newer) is also installed.
The File Transfer/FTP category of the Global Options dialog allows you to control the attributes of FTP transfers.

Data connection options group
Use outgoing data connections (PASV)
This option will instruct the remote server to assign a port and listen to it for a data connection being initiated by SecureFX.
Note: This feature can be useful if a firewall exists between your client and the server.
This option is on by default. This is used as the default setting for the identical Session Options/File Transfer option.
Disable direct server-to-server transfers
This option is unchecked by default. Checking this option will force all server-to-server transfers to be handled by establishing indirect data connections through the local host. This option is sometimes needed where a server behaves poorly after receiving a request to establish a server-to-server connection.
Limit local ports used for PORT connections
This option, when enabled, allows you to specify a range of ports for SecureFX to use when making an FTP or FTP/SSL data connection.
