An FTP site can be set up to send files generated by a File Exporter, or retrieve files using a File Collector, via FTP.

For information about the properties toolbar, and about the sections Parent Details, Analysis Models, Description and Audit Summary, see Common Properties. For a full list of all the PhixFlow property tabs and windows, see Property Tabs.

FTP Mode	This property is available when FTP Type is Plain or SSL. Select an option from: Active Passive
SSL Security	This property is available when FTP Type field is SSL. Select an option from: Implicit Explicit
SFTP Cipher	This property is available when FTP Type field is SSH. 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.
