The Client Update FTP Downloader Settings define how the inbuilt FTP client downloads updates from the Navigator Systems Ltd FTP server ready for the Auto Update.

PassiveMode
In the FTP protocol two ports are normally used, 20 and 21. Port 21 is the control channel in which requests such as PUT, GET, and PWD are sent to the server. Port 20 is the data channel in which actual files, folders and directory listings are sent. Normally, when you connect to an FTP site, the site establishes the data connection to your PC (the client) on Port 20. However, if the site allows passive transfers, you can have your PC establish the data connection. We recommend that you use passive mode for most transfers.
Recent Updates Only
Only download updates which are more recent than 10 days before this server's creation date.
Download Now
The download now checkbox forces the FTP client online to download any new files.
Note: FTP access is logged to <My Documents>\NXServer_FTPclient.log
