In case your system environment requires FTP connections to pass through a proxy server, these preferences provide Switch with the configuration details for the proxy server. In case of a proxy server, the FTP receive and FTP send tools will fail as long as these preferences have not been set.
To use the FTP proxy protocol rather than HTTP or SOCKS, select "no proxy" for the "type of proxy" preference described below, and follow these guidelines for entering the appropriate proxy information in the FTP receive and FTP send properties:
In the "FTP server address" property, enter the name or IP address of the proxy server (instead of the FTP site being targeted).
In the "user name" property, append an @ sign and the target FTP site address (domain or IP address) to the regular user name (that is, "ftpserverusername@ftpserveraddress").
The other properties, including password, remain unchanged.
