Hi,

 

First, use right name...

 

  • Secure FTP -> sftp on ssh port (22)
  • FTP over ssl -> ftps on same port than ftp (21)

How is configured the ftps service?

 

Is control connection encrypted? If yes, no solution with active mode because f5 can't read control connection negotiation to open data port.

 

I'm not sure but as I know, there is no ftps offload solution to decrypt control connection.
