FTP access by automation

Using FTP, third parties can initiate transfers between two K2 systems or between a K2 system and another FTP server. Transfers of this type are known as “passive” FTP transfers, or “server to server” transfers.

If you are managing transfers with this scheme from a Windows operating system computer, you should disable the Windows firewall on that computer. Otherwise, FTP transfers can fail because the Windows firewall detects FTP commands and can switch the IP addresses in the commands.

Note: You should disable the Windows firewall on non-K2 systems issuing passive FTP transfer commands.
