According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are
transferred through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be
intercepted by an eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
Using the archives table
To assist you with choosing the right location, the table displays the names of the archives contained
in each location you select. While you are reviewing the location content, archives can be added,
deleted or modified by another user or by the program itself according to scheduled operations. Use
the
Refresh
button to refresh the list of archives.

When to validate
As validation is a resource-intensive operation, it makes sense to schedule validation to the managed
machine's off-peak period. On the other hand, if you prefer to be immediately informed whether the
data is not corrupted and can be successfully recovered, consider starting validation right after the
task creation.
