Enabling or disabling explicit FTPS

You can enable or disable explicit FTPS by setting the ftpd.explicit.enable option to on or off, respectively. By default, this option is off.

Before you begin

Before you can enable FTPS, you must set up and start SSL using the secureadmin command. For more information, see the na_secureadmin(1) man page or the Data ONTAP System Administration Guide for 7-Mode.

Note: SSL certificates for vFiler units are shared with the default vFiler unit. Therefore, you must set up and start SSL on the default vFiler unit.

Before you can enable explicit FTPS, you must set the ftpd.enable option to on.

About this task

When the ftpd.explicit.enable option is enabled, Data ONTAP allows explicit FTPS connections on port 21. When this option is disabled, Data ONTAP does not allow explicit FTPS connections on port 21.
