FTP message control parameters

Debug YES, NO NO This parameter controls whether debugging output appears.
Active_Mode YES, NO NO

This parameter controls whether the client or the database server initiates all data transfer connections.

When this parameter is set to NO, (Passive mode) the client initiates all data transfer connections, in this case the message link.

When this parameter is set to YES (Active mode) the database server initiates all data connections.

If your FTP server is sitting behind an incorrectly configured firewall you may not be able to use the default passive transfer mode.

SMTP message control parameters
