Configuring Secure Connections in FTP Data Feeds

Users can configure secure connections in data feeds by selecting the SSL Connection option on the Source Connection tab. In the Archer Control Panel, you can indicate if FTP data feeds automatically use secure connections. You can also configure FTP data feeds to run when the domain on the FTP server certificate and the domain used to reach the FTP server do not match.

The options apply to both existing and new FTP data feeds, and are inactive by default.
