CLIENTSOCKET (JANUS DEFINE parameter)

<section begin="desc" />socketname<section end="desc" />

CLIENTSOCKET is a parameter on JANUS DEFINE, which defines and sets characteristics of a Janus port. See the List of JANUS DEFINE parameters.

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 FTP server port.

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

For more information about the Janus FTP Server, see the Janus Sockets Reference Manual.

This parameter is valid only for FTPSERVER port types.
