FTP Mode

This property is available when FTP Type is Plain or SSL.

This property is available when FTP Type field is SSL.

For secure file transfer, PhixFlow automatically uses current ciphers (listed below). If your SSH server uses deprecated ciphers, enter a comma-separated list of all the ciphers you want to use. The order that you enter the ciphers indicates the order of preference. PhixFlow uses the first cipher that is listed and is available to encrypt/decrypt the files it transfers.

Enter a list of ciphers, in order of preference, that you want PhixFlow to use for secure file transfer. The list can include:

  • current ciphers
    • 3des-ctr
    • aes128-ctr
    • aes192-ctr
    • aes256-ctr
  • deprecated ciphers
    • 3des-cbc
    • blowfish-cbc.
