SOCKS Configuration Properties

The Batch Adapter contains a number of properties used to configure SOCKS with the BatchFTP Adapter. These properties are configured using the BatchFTP Properties Sheet accessed from the Connectivity Map and the Environment Explorer.

• Socks Enabled: Specifies whether the FTP command connection goes through a SOCKS server. A value of No indicates that the adapter is not connecting to a SOCKS server. In this case, all other parameters under the SOCKS section are ignored.

• Socks Host Name: Specifies the SOCKS host name. When you are communicating with a SOCKS server, enter the SOCKS server name in this parameter.

• Socks Server Port: Specifies the port number of the SOCKS server.

• Socks Version: Specifies the SOCKS server version. A value of 4 or 5 for SOCKSv4 or SOCKSv5 provides the best performance, but the default value Unknown can if the version is in question.

• Socks User Name: Specifies the user name that matches the associated password used for authentication with a SOCKS5 server. This parameter is applied when user/password negotiation method is used.

• Socks Password: Specifies the password to use along with the user name for authentication with a SOCKS5 server. This parameter is applied when user/password negotiation method is used.
