FTP Configuration
The class accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.FTP Configuration Settings
ActiveModeIP:
Allows the specification of the IP address that the server will connect to for active mode connections.The ActiveModeIP config can be used to specify the IP address that the server will connect to when
using an active mode configuration (Passive = False). When this config is set, the port number where the component
listens for active mode connections will still be managed by the component. The PortRange can also
be used to ensure that the correct port is used by the client.
Note that this config will be ignored if ActiveModePORTAddress is also specified. | |
ActiveModePORTAddress:
Allows the specification of the PORT address value for active mode connections.When using an active mode configuration (Passive = False) with a firewall, it may sometimes be necessary to specify the actual PORT value to be sent to the server. ActiveModePORTAddress takes the protocol-level parameter in the form "a,b,c,d,e,f" where "a,b,c,d" is the external IP address separated by commas, and e and f represent, respectively, the high byte (divide by 256) and the low byte (mod 256) values of the external port where the FTP client is listening.
This config must be used in conjunction with PortRange to ensure that the correct port is used by the client. | |
AppendToLocalFile: Append downloaded files to a local file.If set to true, the downloaded files will be appended to the file specified in LocalFile. | |
ApplyFileMaskLocally: Whether to filter the directory listing locally or on the server.If set to any filemask provided to RemoteFile will be applied locally, after the server has returned the results. When (default), the value in RemoteFile will be sent to the server as a part of the relevant listing command. Because using filemasks with list commands is not standardized, some servers do not support them and will return an error. | |
AutoSelectDataIP:
Automatically select the data connection IP.This setting controls the selection logic of the data connection. By default this value is True and the
class will attempt to determine the best IP for the data connection based on the returned value from the server.
It is recommended to leave this value set to True unless there is a reason to disable it.
In many cases FTP servers are not configured to return a valid public IP in the PASV response. When SSL/TLS is used any NAT done by the firewall cannot occur and the result is the client may receive an IP that is not accessible. This setting is designed to allow the connection to succeed in as many cases as possible. When the IP for the data connection is received from the server the class will inspect the value. If the received value is not within the known private IP ranges the class will use it, assuming it is a valid public IP. If the received value is a private IP the class will instead assume the data connection should be established to the same IP as the command connection (true in almost all cases). When this setting if False, the class will not perform any checks on the received value. When set to False UseRemoteHostAddressForPassive is applicable. | |
CalculatePercentDone: Enables or Disables calculating the percent complete for downloads.When set to (default), the class sends an FTP "SIZE" command to retrieve the file size before beginning a download. When downloading a large quantity of small files, performance may be increased by disabling this feature. | |
CheckTotalEntry: Whether to ignore directory listing total lines.Some servers will include "total" information when returning a directory listing that contains some non-entry data. When CheckTotalEntry is set to True (default), the component will ignore lines beginning with "total" to account for this. In some cases, it may be desirable to include these lines in the resulting DirList data; this can be done by setting this configuration setting to False. | |
DILinger:
When set to True, DI connections are terminated gracefully.
This property controls how the DI connection is closed. The default is True.
In the case that DILinger is True (default), there are two scenarios for determining how long the connection will linger. The first, if DILingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP protocol timeout expires. In the second scenario, DILingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified DILingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection. The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data is sent (even after your application closes). Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (by a client acknowledgment, for example), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action. | |
DILingerTime: Time in seconds to have the DI connection linger. LingerTime is the time, in seconds, to leave the socket connection linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP protocol timeout. | |
FileTimeFormat:
The format of file time reported by the server.The default value is "M/d/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt". When set, the class will format the time returned by the server in the FileTime property.
To disable all formatting set this to empty string.
Note: This setting only applies to the FileTime property. It does not apply to the FileTime parameter of the DirList event. | |
IgnoreEntries: Directory entry data to ignore.Sometimes the FTP server will return data in a directory listing that is not entry data and can be ignored. The IgnoreEntries configuration setting takes a comma-separated list of entries to ignore. Only the beginning of the entries need to be specified and correct case is not required. | |
MaskSensitive: Masks passwords in logs.The default value is false. When set to true the class will mask passwords that would otherwise appear in its logs. | |
ModeZCompressionLevel: Used to specify the level of compression used.The default value is 7. Valid values are from 0 to 9. A higher value indicates a higher compression level is used. This is only valid when UseModeZ is set to True. | |
PortRange:
Allows the specification of a port range where the class listens for active mode connections.When set to use active mode (Passive = False), the class uses any available port
to listen to incoming connections from the server. You can override this behavior by setting
PortRange to a value containing the range of ports the class will be
listening to.
The range is provided as start-end, for instance: "1024-" stands for anything higher than 1024, "1024-2048" stands for ports between 1024 and 2048 inclusive, "4000-4010, 50000-50010" stands for ports between 4000 and 4010 or between 50000 and 50010. | |
PreserveFileTime: Attempts to preserve timestamps when transferring files.When set to True, the class will try to preserve timestamps when transferring files. The MDTM command is used when downloading, and the MFTM command is used when uploading. The server must support these commands for this to work. False by default. | |
RealTimeUpload: Enables real time uploading.When this value is set to "True" the class will upload the data in the file specified by LocalFile and continue monitoring LocalFile for additional data to upload until no new data is found for RealTimeUploadAgeLimit seconds. This allows you to start uploading a file immediately after the file is created and continue uploading as data is written to the file. The default value is "False". | |
RealTimeUploadAgeLimit: The age limit in seconds when using RealTimeUpload.This value is only applicable when RealTimeUpload is set to "True". This specifies the number of seconds for which the class will monitor LocalFile for new data to upload. If this limit is reached and no new data is found in LocalFile the upload will complete. The default value is "1". | |
ReusePISSLSessionInDI: Whether the PI SSL session will be reused for the DI connection.When set to True (default), the class will reuse the PI SSL session when creating the DI connection. When set to False, the class will create a separate SSL session for the DI connection. The default value is True. | |
ReuseSSLSessionInDI: Whether the SSL session will be reused for the DI connection.When set to True (default), the class will ask the server to reuse the existing DI SSL session. When set to False, a new SSL session will always be created for the DI connection. | |
UseClearChannel: Allows for the Clear Command Channel (CCC) command. When set, the class will send the CCC command to the server requesting a clear (unprotected) command channel. | |
UseClearDataChannel: Allows for the PROT C command. When this is set, the class will use a clear (unprotected) data channel by sending the PROT C command to the server. | |
UseEPSV: Allows extended passive mode.When set, extended passive mode will be used. | |
UseMLSD:
Uses listings for machine processing.When this is set to True the class will list files in the directory using the MLSD command. This command is an extension
to the protocol which defines a more standardized and reliable directory listing format.
Not all servers support this command. The default value is False.
When set to True, set RemoteFile to the filemask and call either ListDirectory or ListDirectoryLong. There is no difference between the two methods when this setting is enabled. | |
UseMLST:
Uses single file listing for machine processing.This setting is similar to UseMLSD except that it is only valid for a single file.
When this is set to True the class will list the file or folder specified by RemoteFile. If RemoteFile
is not set, a listing for the current directory itself will be returned. This command is an extension
to the protocol which defines a more standardized and reliable directory listing format, but for a single file or folder only.
Not all servers support this command. The default value is False.
When set to True, set RemoteFile to the file or folder you wish to get information about and call either ListDirectory or ListDirectoryLong. There is no difference between the two methods when this setting is enabled. When both UseMLSD and UseMLST are set, UseMLSD takes precedence. | |
UseModeZ: Allows compression to be used when transferring data.The default value is false. When set to true the class will issue the "MODE Z" command to the FTP server. This will enable deflate compression so all data transferred is first compressed either by the server (when downloading) or by the class (when uploading). Note that not all servers support this feature. | |
UseOldAUTHSSL:
Allows use of the 'AUTH SSL' command instead of 'AUTH TLS'.
By default, the class uses the standard "AUTH TLS" command to initiate
the SSL handshake with the server. This configuration setting is included
for optional support of older servers which support only the "AUTH SSL".
command.
Using "AUTH SSL" instead of "AUTH TLS" is STRONGLY discouraged due to potential security vulnerabilities. If you must use this configuration setting, please do so very carefully. | |
UseProtWhenImplicit: Sends the PROT P command to the server. When SSLStartMode is set to sslImplicit, setting this to true will instruct the class to send the PROT P command to the server. This explicitly tells the server that the data channel will be protected. The default value is true. | |
UseRemoteHostAddressForPassive:
Instructs the class to use the address specified by RemoteHost when establishing a data connection.When this setting is True, the class will use the address specified by RemoteHost when establishing a
data connection for directory listings and file transfers. This setting is only applicable when AutoSelectDataIP is set to False.
When this setting if False (default) and AutoSelectDataIP is also False the class will use the IP address returned by the server when establishing a data connection. This setting is not applicable when Passive is set to False (Active mode). | |
VirtualHostName: Sends the HOST command to the server.Defined in RFC 7151, the HOST command allows user-FTP processes to specify which virtual host to connect to for a server-FTP process that is handling requests for multiple virtual hosts on a single IP address. When this config is set, the HOST command is sent to the server prior to authenticating. |
IPPort Configuration Settings
ConnectionTimeout: Sets a separate timeout value for establishing a connection.When set, this configuration setting allows you to specify a different timeout value for establishing a connection. Otherwise, the class will use Timeout for establishing a connection and transmitting/receiving data. | |||||||||||
FirewallAutoDetect: Tells the class whether or not to automatically detect and use firewall system settings, if available.This is the same as AutoDetect. This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. | |||||||||||
FirewallHost:
Name or IP address of firewall (optional).If a FirewallHost is given, requested connections will be authenticated through the specified firewall
when connecting.
If the FirewallHost setting is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated. Upon successful termination of the request, the FirewallHost setting is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, an error is returned. NOTE: This is the same as Host. This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. | |||||||||||
FirewallPassword:
Password to be used if authentication is to be used when connecting through the firewall.If FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword settings
are used to connect and authenticate to the given firewall. If the authentication fails, the class .
NOTE: This is the same as Password. This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. | |||||||||||
FirewallPort:
The TCP port for the FirewallHost;.Note that the FirewallPort is set automatically when FirewallType is set to a valid value.
NOTE: This is the same as Port. This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. | |||||||||||
FirewallType:
Determines the type of firewall to connect through.The appropriate values are as follows:
NOTE: This is the same as FirewallType. This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. | |||||||||||
FirewallUser:
A user name if authentication is to be used connecting through a firewall.If the FirewallHost is specified, the FirewallUser and FirewallPassword
settings are used to connect and authenticate to the Firewall. If the authentication fails, the class .
NOTE: This is the same as User. This setting is provided for use by classs that do not directly expose Firewall properties. | |||||||||||
KeepAliveInterval:
The retry interval, in milliseconds, to be used when a TCP keep-alive packet is sent and no response is received.When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true.
A TCP keep-alive packet will be sent after a period of inactivity as
defined by KeepAliveTime. If no acknowledgement is received from the remote host the keep-alive packet
will be re-sent. This setting specifies the interval at which the successive keep-alive packets are sent in milliseconds.
This system default if this value is not specified here is 1 second.
Note: This value is not applicable in Java or MAC. | |||||||||||
KeepAliveTime:
The inactivity time in milliseconds before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent.When set, TCPKeepAlive will automatically be set to true.
By default the operating system will determine the
time a connection is idle before a TCP keep-alive packet is sent. This system default if this value is not specified here is 2 hours. In many
cases a shorter interval is more useful. Set this value to the desired interval in milliseconds.
Note: This value is not applicable in Java. | |||||||||||
Linger:
When set to True, connections are terminated gracefully.This property controls how a connection is closed. The default is True.
In the case that Linger is True (default), there are two scenarios for determining how long the connection will linger. The first, if LingerTime is 0 (default), the system will attempt to send pending data for a connection until the default IP protocol timeout expires. In the second scenario, LingerTime is a positive value, the system will attempt to send pending data until the specified LingerTime is reached. If this attempt fails, then the system will reset the connection. The default behavior (which is also the default mode for stream sockets) might result in a long delay in closing the connection. Although the class returns control immediately, the system could hold system resources until all pending data is sent (even after your application closes). Setting this property to False forces an immediate disconnection. If you know that the other side has received all the data you sent (by a client acknowledgment, for example), setting this property to False might be the appropriate course of action. | |||||||||||
LingerTime: Time in seconds to have the connection linger. LingerTime is the time, in seconds, to leave the socket connection linger. This value is 0 by default, which means it will use the default IP protocol timeout. | |||||||||||
LocalHost:
The name of the local host through which connections are initiated or accepted.
The LocalHost setting contains the name of the local host
as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the
user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.
In multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the value of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. If the class is connected, the LocalHost setting shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multi-homed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface). | |||||||||||
LocalPort:
The port in the local host where the class binds.
This must be set before a connection is
attempted. It instructs the class to bind to a specific
port (or communication endpoint) in the local machine.
Setting this to 0 (default) enables the system to choose a port at random. The chosen port will be shown by LocalPort after the connection is established. LocalPort cannot be changed once a connection is made. Any attempt to set this when a connection is active will generate an error. This; setting is useful when trying to connect to services that require a trusted port in the client side. An example is the remote shell (rsh) service in UNIX systems. | |||||||||||
MaxLineLength:
The maximum amount of data to accumulate when no EOL is found.MaxLineLength is the size of an internal buffer, which holds received data while waiting for an EOL
string.
If an EOL string is found in the input stream before MaxLineLength bytes are received, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to True, and the buffer is reset. If no EOL is found, and MaxLineLength bytes are accumulated in the buffer, the DataIn event is fired with the EOL parameter set to False, and the buffer is reset. The minimum value for MaxLineLength is 256 bytes. The default value is 2048 bytes. | |||||||||||
MaxTransferRate: The transfer rate limit in bytes per second.This setting can be used to throttle outbound TCP traffic. Set this to the number of bytes to be sent per second. By default this is not set and there is no limit. | |||||||||||
ProxyExceptionsList:
A semicolon separated list of hosts and IPs to bypass when using a proxy.This setting optionally specifies a semicolon separated list of hostnames or IP addresses to bypass when a proxy is in use.
When requests are made to hosts specified in this property the proxy will not be used. For instance:
www.google.com;www.nsoftware.com | |||||||||||
TCPKeepAlive:
Determines whether or not the keep alive socket option is enabled.If set to true, the socket's keep-alive option is enabled and keep-alive packets will be sent periodically
to maintain the connection. Set KeepAliveTime and KeepAliveInterval to
configure the timing of the keep-alive packets.
Note: This value is not applicable in Java. | |||||||||||
TcpNoDelay:
Whether or not to delay when sending packets.
When true, the socket will send all data that is ready to send at once. When
false, the socket will send smaller buffered packets of data at small intervals.
This is known as the Nagle algorithm.
By default, this config is set to false. | |||||||||||
UseIPv6:
Whether to use IPv6.When set to 0 (default), the class will use IPv4 exclusively.
When set to 1, the class will use IPv6 exclusively. To instruct the class to prefer IPv6 addresses, but use IPv4 if IPv6 is not supported on the system, this setting should be set to 2. The default value is 0.
Possible values are:

SSL Configuration Settings
LogSSLPackets:
Controls whether SSL packets are logged when using the internal security API.When the UseInternalSecurityAPI configuration setting is True, this setting controls whether SSL packets should be logged. By default, this setting is False, as it is only useful for debugging purposes.
When enabled, SSL packet logs are output using the SSLStatus event, which will fire each time an SSL packet is sent or received. Enabling this setting has no effect if UseInternalSecurityAPI is False. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
OpenSSLCADir:
The path to a directory containing CA certificates.This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.
The path set by this property should point to a directory containing CA certificates in PEM format. The files each contain one CA certificate. The files are looked up by the CA subject name hash value, which must hence be available. If more than one CA certificate with the same name hash value exist, the extension must be different (e.g. 9d66eef0.0, 9d66eef0.1 etc). OpenSSL recommends to use the c_rehash utility to create the necessary links. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
OpenSSLCAFile:
Name of the file containing the list of CA's trusted by your application.This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.
The file set by this property should contain a list of CA certificates in PEM format. The file can contain several CA certificates identified by -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... (CA certificate in base64 encoding) ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- sequences. Before, between, and after the certificates text is allowed which can be used e.g. for descriptions of the certificates. Please refer to the OpenSSL man page SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3) for details. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
OpenSSLCipherList:
A string that controls the ciphers to be used by SSL.This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.
The format of this string is described in the OpenSSL man page ciphers(1) section "CIPHER LIST FORMAT". Please refer to it for details. The default string "DEFAULT" is determined at compile time and is normally equivalent to "ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
OpenSSLPrngSeedData:
The data to seed the pseudo random number generator (PRNG).This functionality is available only when the provider is OpenSSL.
By default OpenSSL uses the device file "/dev/urandom" to seed the PRNG and setting OpenSSLPrngSeedData is not required. If set, the string specified is used to seed the PRNG. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
ReuseSSLSession:
Determines if the SSL session is reused.
If set to true, the class will reuse the context if and only if the following criteria are met:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLCACerts:
A newline separated list of CA certificate to use during SSL client authentication.This setting specifies one or more CA certificates to be included in the request when performing
SSL client authentication. Some servers require the entire chain, including CA certificates, to be presented
when performing SSL client authentication. The value of this setting is a newline (CrLf) separated list of certificates. For instance:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEKzCCAxOgAwIBAgIRANTET4LIkxdH6P+CFIiHvTowDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw ... eWHV5OW1K53o/atv59sOiW5K3crjFhsBOd5Q+cJJnU+SWinPKtANXMht+EDvYY2w F0I1XhM+pKj7FjDr+XNj -----END CERTIFICATE----- \r \n -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEFjCCAv6gAwIBAgIQetu1SMxpnENAnnOz1P+PtTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBp .. d8q23djXZbVYiIfE9ebr4g3152BlVCHZ2GyPdjhIuLeH21VbT/dyEHHA -----END CERTIFICATE----- | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLCheckCRL:
Whether to check the Certificate Revocation List for the server certificate.This setting specifies whether the class will check the Certificate Revocation List specified by the server certificate. If set to the class will first obtain the list of CRL URLs from the server certificate's CRL distribution points extension. The class will then make HTTP requests to each CRL endpoint to check the validity of the server's certificate. If the certificate has been revoked or any other issues are found during validation the class .
When set to (default) the CRL check will not be performed by the class. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLCipherStrength:
The minimum cipher strength used for bulk encryption.
This minimum cipher strength largely dependent on the security modules installed
on the system. If the cipher strength specified is not supported,
an error will be returned when connections are initiated.
Please note that this setting contains the minimum cipher strength requested from the security library. The actual cipher strength used for the connection is shown by the SSLStatus event. Use this setting with caution. Requesting a lower cipher strength than necessary could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application. When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList config setting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLEnabledCipherSuites:
The cipher suite to be used in an SSL negotiation.The enabled cipher suites to be used in SSL negotiation.
By default, the enabled cipher suites will include all available ciphers ("*"). The special value "*" means that the class will pick all of the supported cipher suites. If SSLEnabledCipherSuites is set to any other value, only the specified cipher suites will be considered. Multiple cipher suites are separated by semicolons. Example values when UseInternalSecurityAPI is False (default):
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=CALG_AES_256;CALG_3DES");Possible values when UseInternalSecurityAPI is False (default) include:
obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=*"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA"); obj.config("SSLEnabledCipherSuites=TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA;TLS_DH_ANON_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA");Possible values when UseInternalSecurityAPI is True include:
When TLS 1.3 is negotiated (see SSLEnabledProtocols) only the following cipher suites are supported:
SSLEnabledCipherSuites is used together with SSLCipherStrength. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLEnabledProtocols:
Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.Used to enable/disable the supported security protocols.
Not all supported protocols are enabled by default (the value of this setting is 4032). If you want more granular control over the enabled protocols, you can set this property to the binary 'OR' of one or more of the following values:
When the provider is OpenSSL, SSLCipherStrength is currently not supported. This functionality is instead made available through the OpenSSLCipherList setting. Note: TLS 1.1 and TLS1.2 support are only available starting with Windows 7. Note: Enabling TLS 1.3 will automatically set UseInternalSecurityAPI to True. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLEnableRenegotiation:
Whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension is supported.This setting specifies whether the renegotiation_info SSL extension will be used in the request when using the internal security API.
This setting is by default, but can be set to to disable the extension.
This setting is only applicable when UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to . | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLIncludeCertChain:
Whether the entire certificate chain is included in the SSLServerAuthentication event.This setting specifies whether the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event contains
the full certificate chain. By default this value is False and only the leaf certificate will be present
in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event.
If set to True all certificates returned by the server will be present in the Encoded parameter of the SSLServerAuthentication event. This includes the leaf certificate, any intermediate certificate, and the root certificate.

SSLProvider:
The name of the security provider to use.
Change this setting to use security providers other than the system default.
Use this setting with caution. Disabling SSL security or pointing to the wrong provider could potentially cause serious security vulnerabilities in your application. The special value "*" (default) picks the default SSL provider defined in the system. Note: On Windows systems, the default SSL Provider is "Microsoft Unified Security Protocol Provider" and cannot be changed . | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLSecurityFlags:
Flags that control certificate verification.The following flags are defined (specified in hexadecimal
notation). They can be or-ed together to exclude multiple
conditions:
This functionality is currently not available when the provider is OpenSSL. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
SSLServerCACerts:
A newline separated list of CA certificate to use during SSL server certificate validation.This setting optionally specifies one or more CA certificates to be used when verifying the server certificate. When verifying the server's certificate the certificates trusted by the system will be used as part of the verification process. If the server's CA certificates are not installed to the trusted system store, they may be specified here so they are included when performing the verification process. This setting should only be set if the server's CA certificates are not already trusted on the system and cannot be installed to the trusted system store.

IPPort.Config("SSLEnabledProtocols=3072"); //TLS 1.2
IPPort.Config("TLS12SignatureAlgorithms=sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa");
The default value for this setting is sha512-ecdsa,sha512-rsa,sha512-dsa,sha384-ecdsa,sha384-rsa,sha384-dsa,sha256-ecdsa,sha256-rsa,sha256-dsa,sha224-ecdsa,sha224-rsa,sha224-dsa,sha1-ecdsa,sha1-rsa,sha1-dsa.
In order to not restrict the server's certificate signature algorithm, specify an empty string as the value for this setting, which will cause the signature_algorithms TLS 1.2 extension to not be sent. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
TLS12SupportedGroups:
The supported groups for ECC.This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.2 for ECC.
The default value is ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1. When using TLS 1.2 and UseInternalSecurityAPI is set to True, the values refer to the supported groups for ECC. The following values are supported:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
TLS13KeyShareGroups:
The groups for which to pregenerate key shares.This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange.
The groups specified here will have key share data pregenerated locally before establishing a connection.
This can prevent an additional round trip during the handshake if the group is supported by the server.
The default value is set to balance common supported groups and the computational resources required to generate key shares. As a result only some groups are included by default in this setting. Note: All supported groups can always be used during the handshake even if not listed here, but if a group is used which is not present in this list it will incur an additional round trip and time to generate the key share for that group. In most cases this setting does not need to be modified. This should only be modified if there is a specific reason to do so. The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072 The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

TLS13SignatureAlgorithms:
The allowed certificate signature algorithms.This setting holds a comma separated list of allowed signature algorithms. Possible values are:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||
TLS13SupportedGroups:
The supported groups for (EC)DHE key exchange.This setting specifies a comma separated list of named groups used in TLS 1.3 for key exchange.
This setting should only be modified if there is a specific reason to do so.
The default value is ecdhe_x25519,ecdhe_x448,ecdhe_secp256r1,ecdhe_secp384r1,ecdhe_secp521r1,ffdhe_2048,ffdhe_3072,ffdhe_4096,ffdhe_6144,ffdhe_8192 The values are ordered from most preferred to least preferred. The following values are supported:

Socket Configuration Settings
AbsoluteTimeout:
Determines whether timeouts are inactivity timeouts or absolute timeouts.If AbsoluteTimeout is set to True, any method which does not complete within Timeout seconds
will be aborted. By default, AbsoluteTimeout is False, and the timeout is an inactivity timeout.
Note: This option is not valid for UDP ports. | |
FirewallData: Used to send extra data to the firewall.When the firewall is a tunneling proxy, use this property to send custom (additional) headers to the firewall (e.g. headers for custom authentication schemes). | |
InBufferSize:
The size in bytes of the incoming queue of the socket.
This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack.
You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount
of data that you will be receiving. Increasing the value of the
InBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in
performance in some cases.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the InBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small. | |
OutBufferSize:
The size in bytes of the outgoing queue of the socket.This is the size of an internal queue in the TCP/IP stack.
You can increase or decrease its size depending on the amount
of data that you will be sending. Increasing the value of the
OutBufferSize setting can provide significant improvements in
performance in some cases.
Some TCP/IP implementations do not support variable buffer sizes. If that is the case, when the class is activated the OutBufferSize reverts to its defined size. The same happens if you attempt to make it too large or too small. |
Base Configuration Settings
BuildInfo: Information about the product's build.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the product's build. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CodePage:
The system code page used for Unicode to Multibyte translations.The default code page is Unicode UTF-8 (65001).
The following is a list of valid code page identifiers:

LicenseInfo:
Information about the current license.When queried, this setting will return a string containing information about the license this instance of a class is using. It will return the following information:

UseInternalSecurityAPI: Tells the class whether or not to use the system security libraries or an internal implementation. By default the class will use the system security libraries to perform cryptographic functions. Setting this to True tells the class to use the internal implementation instead of using the system's security API. |
