Enable port mapping using UPnP 

o 

Select this to use the UPnP NAT interface (available in Windows XP) to provide 

proper port mapping when connecting securely from behind a NAT/firewall 

using PORT mode (rather than PASV, due to the remote host also being behind 

a NAT/firewall). Without UPnP, you would need to manually set the port range 

in the client and also enable and forward them in the NAT/firewall device. 

Note: 

You can choose Max connections, Delay between retries, and Retry 

attempts for individual sites. Select the site to configure from Site 

Manager, then from the menu, choose File > Properties, and select the 

Options tab. 

Assign PORT mode IP address and port range 

Use this to specify an IP address and define a port range when establishing 

connections using PORT mode. 

Typically, this setting should be turned off, but if you are using SSL and are 

having difficulty negotiating a firewall, it may help to specify your public FTP 

address here to enable CuteFTP to successfully negotiate with the firewall or 

NAT. Optionally, you can specify a range of ports for issuing port commands. 

Tip: 

Use local port range when you have a defined limited number of open 

ports on your firewall.
