LRA FTP Configuration

Use this page to enable or disable FTP configuration settings for LRA.

Use Passive Mode

This check box determines whether FTP operations will be performed in passive or active FTP mode.  Passive mode allows FTP operations to pass data through certain types of firewalls that would not otherwise allow the flow of data.  Check with your local network administrator to find out if your firewall requires passive FTP.  Passive FTP mode is the default.

Auto Send

This check box determines whether requested data is automatically FTP'd from the customer site to the requester's FTP site.  When checked, the I3LRAU server process FTP's zip files as soon as it finishes staging them in the working directory.  When this option is unchecked, zip files remain in the working directory until they are manually FTP'd to the requester by the customer.  As a rule of thumb, you should leave this option checked unless you wish to inhibit all LRA-related file transfers for some reason.

When Autosend is unchecked, LRA extracts logs and zips them, but does not do anything else.  Customers must use an Internet FTP utility (e.g. WSFTP or equivalent) to manually transfer zip files to the Product Information site.
