Using a clear data channel with SSL

Using CDC (Clear Data Channel) speeds up transfers with SSL sites.  A clear data channel encrypts the connection process, but files are transferred without encryption. You can add more speed to your transfers by using a clear command channel as well.

1. Click on a site in the Site Manager.

2. (In CuteFTP Home, skip this step) On the menu bar, click File > Properties. The Site Properties dialog box appears.

3. Click the Type tab.

4. In the Protocol list, select  FTP with SSL (Implicit encryption), or FTP with SSL (Explicit encryption) or FTP with SSL/TLS (AUTH TLS).

5. Select the Clear Data channel check box.

6. Click OK or Connect.

Note

The Clear Data channel option is only available with SSL connections.
