# FTP

ArcMC allows for the use of FTP and FTPS (FTP over SSL) as a method of delivering log files to the appliance. The default state for FTP and FTPS is disabled.

Blue Coat ProxySG appliances, in particular, support FTP and FTPS as a means of transferring files to ArcMC (For details on this and other methods, refer to the SmartConnector Configuration Guide for Blue Coat ProxySG).

FTPS

FTP can also be used over a secure channel, namely SSL. The use of FTPS requires that a certificate be generated on ArcMC. This certificate can be self-signed or signed by a certificate authority (CA). For detailed instructions on this option, see Using FTPS (FTP over SSL) .

## Models Supporting FTP

The following table lists the ArcMC models that support the use of FTP. It can also assist in determining the maximum directory size allowed for storing files received over these protocols.

Note: If the maximum directory size is exceeded, FTP is disabled and audit event `platform:453, FTP service stopped` is sent. Until the directory size is lowered, all FTP connections are denied.
