SafeTP doesn detect my FTP connection to a non-standard FTP port. Why?.
(top) A: SafeTP uses the destination port number for outgoing network connections as a heuristic to distinguish FTP connections from non-FTP outgoing connections. Currently, the SafeTP client recognizes outgoing connections to port 21 (the standard FTP port), and to ports 353 and 2123 (non-standard FTP ports designated for miscellaneous usage) as possible FTP connections and attempts to secure them. Connections to FTP servers residing on ports other than these three will be ignored by the proxy client by default. Starting in SafeTP v1.9, the advanced settings dialog in the SafeTP Manager can be used to add new recognized ports, although we highly recommend you stick with the three ports above whenever possible.
