Notifications > FTP Blocked File Type
In addition to scanning FTP uploads and downloads, InterScan Web Security Virtual
Appliance can block file types at the FTP gateway. To prevent performance issues,
the FTP scanning module supports special configurations for compressed files and large
files. Spyware and grayware scanning is also supported.
InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance FTP scanning can be deployed into your environment
in conjunction with another FTP proxy server or InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance
can act as its own FTP proxy. And to help ensure the security of the InterScan Web
Security Virtual Appliance server, several security-related configurations are available
to control access to the InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance server and its ports.
Administrator Notification
Send a message when the FTP blocked file type is accessed - Depending on what InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance has been configured
to block, this option can result in a large number of notification messages sent to
the default recipient.
As an alternative to item-by-item notifications, bear in mind that blocked files
are written to log, and can be included in one of the IWSVA generated reports.

Tip
Have notifications sent to a dedicated email account rather than your personal account
to reduce the number of messages received. Alternatively, you may want to set up an
email rule to process IWSVA messages.

User Notification Message
Whenever InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance detects a virus or other Internet
threat in client FTP traffic, uploads and downloads, users will be notified at their
FTP command prompt. If the user is using a FTP client, the message is displayed using
whatever method the client software provides for session text.
You can append a custom message to the IWSVA default by selecting both the Default and Customized options.
