How to configure virtual server for FTP/SFTP

Hello guys,   I have been trying to get this working but no success.   I have followed these 2x manuals but no luck:   https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/ltm...

BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 608.0 Final

 

I have tried PerformanceL4 but no luck either.

 

sftp option isn't available unless configured.

 

 

What is the difference between "standard" and "PerformanceL4"??

    Hi Domel, thanks. Good to know. Regarding your question: Standard mode means full proxy to intercept traffic on transport layer allowing to use proxy functions for transport layer security (SSL, TLS, DTLS) and presentation layer (i.e. http, rtsp, sip, ftp, radius etc.). PerformanceL4 (virtual server type) means pure packet forwarding and no protocol interception. It´s just protocol sanitization on transport layer level and very low latency. Thanks, Stephan
