Configuring FTP settings for use with Offsite Copy
File Transfer Protocol, or FTP, is the simplest and most secure way to copy files
over the Internet. Norton Ghost serves as an FTP client to copy your recovery
points to a remote FTP server as a secondary backup of your critical data.
The Options dialog box lets you configure basic FTP settings to help ensure that
your recovery points are copied to your FTP server.
To configure default FTP settings
1
On the main menu bar, click Tasks > Options.
2
Under Destinations, click Configure FTP.

Refer to the following table when making changes:
Passive (sometimes written "PASV") mode helps avoid conflicts
with security systems. This mode is necessary for some firewalls
and routers because when using passive mode, the FTP client
opens the connection to an IP Address and port that the FTP
server supplies.
Connection mode:
Passive
(Recommended)
Use active mode when connections or transfer attempts fail in
passive mode, or when you receive data socket errors. When
an FTP client connects using active mode, the server opens a
connection to an IP Address and port that the FTP client
supplies.
Connection mode:
Active

Logging Norton Ghost messages
You can specify which product messages (errors, warnings, and information) are
logged as they occur, and where the log file is stored. Product messages can provide
useful information about the status of backups or related events, and can also
provide helpful information when you are troubleshooting.
