Basic FTP Configuration Worksheet

About this task

Before you configure Secure Proxy for FTP connections, gather the information on the Basic FTP Configuration Worksheet. You use this information as you configure a basic FTP connection.

Procedure

  1. Create a basic policy. In a later FTP configuration scenario, you edit this policy to add security features to it.

    Configuration Manager Field

    Feature

    Value

    Policy Name

    Name of policy.

  2. Create a netmap that contains connection information for the nodes connecting to and from Secure Proxy: the trading partner (inbound node) and the Sterling B2B Integrator server (outbound node). You will also associate the basic security policy you create with the inbound node.

    Configuration Manager Field

    Feature

    Primary Destination Address

    Host name or IP address to connect to the outbound FTP server.

    Primary Destination Port

    Port number to connect to the outbound FTP server.

  3. Create an FTP adapter that defines information necessary to establish FTP connections to and from Secure Proxy. When you configure the adapter, select the basic netmap and the outbound FTP server you define in the netmap definition. If the outbound host uses virtual IP address, set the IP address in the PASV response.

    Configuration Manager Field
