#In the '''web/FTP settings''' section, check all the settings, some determine what is automatically uploaded, other settings should initially obey the tips shown on the settings screen. One item to try is changing the setting for ''Active FTP mode''. | #Be aware that there are differences between different MX versions on which of the following protocols are available: | ||
#* Simple File Transfer Protocol (FTP) simple file transfer process; effectively the file is transferred exactly as it is without any attempt to apply any security to stop it being read if it is intercepted. | |||
#*File Transfer Protocol Secure (FTPS), this adds Transport Level Security (the modern replacement for what was the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), which is now prohibited by RFC7568); effectively this requires the network connection to be secured so sender and receiver only can see what has been transferred, it is hard to intercept anything sent over the network, let along read an individual file. | |||
#*Secure File Transfer Program (SFTP), based on Secure Shell (SSH) protocol, an open standard for secure transfer over an unsecured network; effectively it can be intercepted, but only recipient can both read the file and remove the encrypting. | |||
# As with any new functionality added at a particular version, it probably has not been tested for all the operating systems and other environmental conditions under which it can be used, and it is possible it might not work in the first version where it is introduced. | |||

#Be careful you don't set the interval between successive FTP/FTPS/SFTP uploads too small. Each of these processes is a fairly slow way to transfer files, so if you are uploading large files it might take a little time, and you can't start a new upload until previous has finished. | |||
