Configure FTP Content Filtering
Some malware threats are specifically developed to spread through the FTP protocol. By
default, the UTM scans FTP traffic, but you can disable scanning of FTP traffic, or specify
how the UTM scans FTP traffic and which action is taken when a malware threat is detected.
The UTM does not scan password-protected FTP files.

To configure the antivirus settings for FTP traffic:
1. Select Application Security > FTP. The FTP submenu tabs display with the Anti-Virus
screen in view:
