You get an incredibly powerful platform when you combine a mobile device and "push" Internet technology. ShareIt FTP can be used in many applications:
No. We consider this a security violation. If you have concerns about the long-term support of ShareIt FTP or NSC, please contact sales@nsctech.com to discuss potential options.
Yes. Both versions of ShareIt FTP are compatible with all plain-text FTP clients and Internet browsers. The Pro version will work with SSL/TLS enabled FTP clients.
The trial version of ShareIt FTP supports all features. The software will operate for 14 days and displays a "trial" banner to users.
ShareIt FTP Pro includes certificate creation tools and support for Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2 and v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols. These features are vital to organizations that need to protect login and file information. The Lite version (which targets SOHO users) does not include these security features.
Yes, you can buy an upgrade copy of ShareIt FTP Pro (available through NSC's online store) if:
Yes. When ShareIt FTP starts, it will minimize and run transparently. You can access the application through the taskbar (look for the "server" icon at the bottom of the "Today" screen).
Yes. Many users make the default folder '\' so they can access any location on the device.
TLS uses the same cryptographic methods as SSL (40 and 128 bits) but supports stronger algorithms (168-bit 3DES).
You buy a certificate from a Certificate Authority (or CA) like Verisign or generate a "self-signed" certificate using the built-in tools. See the ShareIt FTP User Guide for more information.
ShareIt FTP uses the following ports:
Most network environments employ a firewall or router to map between internal and external IP addresses. Some of these devices will parse FTP commands and replace IP addresses so that the FTP client and server can operate without knowledge of the mapping.
To resolve the addressing problem, ShareIt FTP lets you specify an external IP address for FTP commands. For more information, see the 'Fix IP Address' options in the Advanced system settings (Tools > Settings... > Network >).
The firewall is blocking incoming data connections; preventing the FTP client from receiving file and folder information. You will need to open the data connection ports or change your connection policy. Click here for more information.
Both the FTP client and server processes should be capable of active and passive connections. When a process is in passive mode, it will "listen" (accept incoming connections) on a data port. The active process will then "connect" (outgoing) to that port and the transfer will start. The FTP request command determines the direction of the connection. For example, PASV requires the client to connect to the server and the PORT command involves the server connecting to the client.
All operating systems do not store text files in the same manner. For example, UNIX represents the end of a line with a single linefeed (LF). The Windows standard is carriage return linefeed (CRLF). At some point, the file has been transferred incorrectly (as BINARY, or a mix of BINARY and ASCII) and your application is unable to view the text file correctly.
Check the following:
This is most likely a configuration problem. Check the following:
Yes, ShareIt FTP will always perform the linefeed mapping (LF -> CRLF) and report the correct number of bytes. The software also supports the restart (REST) command in this mode.
NOTE: Most FTP servers do not support this functionality because of the extra processing involved or their design is open to DoS attacks.
