Network environment

Connect typically requires some configuration steps to function in your network environment. Configuration settings also allow you to limit transfer rates and use an HTTP proxy.

Network requirements

Your SSH outbound connection might differ based on your organization's network practices. Although TCP/33001 is the default setting, consult your IT department for questions that are related to which SSH ports are open for file transfer. Also see the help documentation for your particular operating system, for specific instructions on configuring your firewall. If your client host is behind a firewall that does not allow outbound connections, you need to allow the following connections:

Outbound connections for SSH, which is TCP/33001 by default, although the server side might run SSH on another port. Check with your IT department for which SSH ports are open for file transfers.
Outbound connections for FASP transfers, which is UDP/33001 by default, although the server side might run FASP transfers on one or more other ports. Check with your IT department for which SSH ports are open for FASP transfers.

HTTP and FASP proxies

If you need to configure any network proxies or override network speeds, you can do so through the Connect Network option. For more information about configuring proxies, see Network configuration.
