HOWTO54179

Last Updated June 08, 2011

Symantec Web Gateway has a proxy that you can enable for FTP network traffic.

To configure the Symantec Web Gateway FTP proxy

In the Web GUI, click Administration > Configuration > Proxy.
Under FTP Settings, check Enable FTP Proxy.
For FTP Proxy Port, type a port.
The proxy listens for FTP traffic at the port that you specify.
The default port is 8021.
Check or uncheck Allow PASV Mode to FTP Server.
In PASV mode, the FTP server negotiates a communication session using an alternate port after it establishes a session on the default port.
The default is checked.
Type a number for the FTP Session Timeout.
The FTP Session Timeout is how long the proxy keeps an FTP network connection open after the last transmission. You may need a shorter timeout if Internet traffic at your site is high. You may need a longer timeout if Internet traffic at your site is low. Please test changes before deploying them in a production environment.
The default is 300 seconds.
Click Save.
