IBackup’s FTP Server supports implicit SSL connection at port 990 as well as explicit SSL at port 27. Popular FTP clients with SSL options that have been tested to work well with IBackup include CuteFTPPro and WS_FTPPro. Please note that SSL connections are supported for PASSIVE mode of transmission only. For CuteFTPPro, Please make sure you have the connection type set to Implicit SSL and set a value of 50000 KB or higher for use of the same session to transfer files in ‘Transfer Settings’. This will help in reliable transfers even for slower connections. You can also choose Explicit SSL connection and set the port to 27. For WS_FTPPro, please make sure you have SSL option checked, and set the port to 27. You may be prompted to trust the SSL certificate. Please do so for successful FTP access using SSL.
