Using a SOCKS Proxy Server

When you create an Event Rule that uses a Copy/Move File to Host Action, you can specify a SOCKS proxy server for the connection to the remote server. You can also specify a SOCKS server in AWE's HTTP Download and HTTP Post Actions.

If you enable the use of DMZ Gateway as the proxy in the Proxy Settings dialog box, SOCKS options are disabled. EFT Server does not support the use of DMZ Gateway as a proxy and SOCKS settings in combination; however, the combination of FTP or HTTP proxy and SOCKS is allowed.

  1. Create an Event Rule with a Copy/Move File to Host Action.

  2. In the Event Rule Action, click %FS.PATH%. The Offload Action wizard appears.

  5. In the Socks Type area, specify a SOCKS server type of either SOCKS4 or SOCKS5.

  6. Click OK to save the SOCKS options.

  7. Continue with the wizard to complete the File Offload Configuration.
