Advanced
Convert URL characters in commands to ASCII
Instructs Serv-U to convert special characters contained in command parameters to plain ASCII text. Certain web browsers can encode special characters contained in file names and directories when using the FTP protocol. This attribute allows Serv-U to decode these special characters.
Inline out-of-band data
Parse out-of-band socket data into the regular TCP data stream, treating it like normal data. This option is useful to counter denial-of-service attacks that send large amounts of out-of-band (OOB) data to socket stacks that cannot handle large amounts of OOB data.
Send keep alive packets to detect broken connections
Periodically sends keepalive packets to determine if the socket is still connected.
Disable usage of Nagle algorithm
Disables waiting for the ACK TCP handshake before sending the next packet. This option is typically only used for connections with very large latencies, such as satellite links.
Use adaptive time-out on fast file uploads
Slowly lower packet time-out for consistently fast transfers during file uploads. If the transfer does not complete successfully, adaptive time-outs make it easier to resume the upload since Serv-U recognizes more quickly that the transfer is dead and thus allows access to the file sooner.
Maximum supported SFTP Version
Specifies the maximum version of SFTP permitted for SFTP connections. Serv-U supports SFTP versions 3 - 6.
Allow rename overwrite
When enabled (default) Serv-U allows files to be renamed to files where the destination already exists. When disabled, users are not allowed to rename a file or directory to a path name that already exists.
Apply server and domain directory access rules before user and group
The order in which directory access rules are listed is important in
determining the resources that are available to a user or group account. By default, directory access rules specified at the group or user level take precedence over ones specified at the domain and server level. However, there are certain instances where you may want the domain and server level rules to take precedence. Setting this value to "Yes" places the directory access rules of the group and userbelowthe server and domain. For more information, see the "Apply group directory access rules first" setting inGroup information.
Days before automatically disabling account to trigger the pre-disable event
The number of days prior to automatically disabling the user account that the pre-disable event should be triggered.
Days before automatically deleting account to trigger the pre-delete event
The number of days prior to automatically deleting the user account that the pre-delete event should be triggered.
