When
OfficeScan detects
that an FTP client is attempting to upload files to an FTP server,
it checks for the presence of data identifiers in the files. No
file has been uploaded at this point. Depending on the DLP policy,
OfficeScan will
allow or block the upload.
When you configure a policy that blocks file uploads, remember
the following:
-
When OfficeScan blocks
an upload, some FTP clients will try to re-upload the files. In
this case, OfficeScan terminates
the FTP client to prevent the re-upload. Users do not receive a
notification after the FTP client terminates. Inform them of this
situation when you roll out your DLP policies.
-
If a file to be uploaded will overwrite a file on the FTP
server, the file on the FTP server may be deleted.
