The following table explains the different FTP Server resource modes.

MANUAL lets you manually start the FTP Server on a specific server whenever you want.

Default = AUTO

Failover

AUTO, MANUAL

AUTO allows FTP Server to automatically move to the next server in the Assigned Nodes list in the event of a hardware or software failure.

MANUAL lets you intervene after a failure occurs and before FTP Server is moved to another node.
