<var>CLIENTSOCKET</var> is a parameter on <var>[[JANUS DEFINE]]</var>, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port. 

This parameter names the client socket port to use to open connections back to the FTP client, if the client requests active file transfers. On active transfers the FTP server is required by the protocol to open a client connection back to a server port opened by the FTP client. 

If this parameter is '''not''' specified, active file transfers are '''not''' permitted on this <var class="product">[[Janus FTP Server]]</var> port. 

The socket name is not validated when the DEFINE command is issued, but when an active transfer is attempted. 

This parameter is valid only for <var>[[JANUS DEFINE#type|FTPSERVER]]</var> port types.
