UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP support is available in SmartFTP v1.0 Build 979 or higher.
Benefit
UPnP can solve NAT (Network Address Translation) connection problems with active (PORT) mode.
Typical Scenario
The client is behind a NAT and wants to connect to an FTP server supporting PORT mode only (because the server is behind a NAT as well or due to security / firewall policies). In this case without UPnP the ports have to be manually enabled and forwarded in the NAT router and a port range has to be defined in the FTP client configuration. With the new (UPnP) feature everything is automatically handled for the user.
Requirements
Windows XP UPnP compatible NAT router
UPnP Advantages and FTP
Detect External IP Address (Send correct IP address in PORT command) Dynamic Port Mappings (Add/Remove port mappings on the fly)
Security Concerns
The ports are only opened as long as they're needed. The UPnP mappings are automatically removed when the transfer is finished or aborted.
