The Proxy preferences page is accessed by selecting Options, followed by Preferences and finally FTP from the main menu bar. Then click on the Proxy tab at the top of the preferences dialog.
Proxy server
If your network has an FTP proxy server you may need to use it when connecting to FTP sites with Magellan Explorer. If you are unsure whether this applies to you then ask your system administrator for details.
Magellan Explorer supports both unauthenticated and authenticated SOCKS4/5 proxies. Select the mode of your proxy and enter the details in the text boxes on the right.
Connection type
In passive mode (default) Magellan Explorer will initiate file transfers to and from the FTP server by connecting to the server and not the other way around. This is useful if you are situated behind a firewall and cannot accept incoming connections.
Non-passive means that the server connects to you.
