What is Ident Server

The Ident Protocol is a TCP/IP server running on user's computer and listening on specified port to accepts incoming requests and sends user's identity back, the default Ident Server port is TCP/IP 113 port.

FTP client with Ident Server

Most private FTP servers requires every user opening the Ident Server and fetchs users's identify by querying the Ident daemon when users try to connecting. the FTP servers refused your login request if the identity not matching the user database in the site.

The FTP client has a build-in Ident Server to accetps identity querys and sends your identity back to the FTP server, the response includes your identify name which already be recorded in the site. But how about you have different identify username on different FTP server? It's not a problem, Our FTP client has the unique feature to allows you setup different identify for single site!

Troubleshooting with Ident Server

Since Ident Protocol requires the incoming connections on your computer, so you must configure it carefully, we give several suggestions to you as below:

1. Make sure your firewall do not broke the incoming TCP/IP connections from 113 port
2. If you are behind firewall and router, please config your router and firewall to forward the incoming connections from TCP/IP 113 port to your computer
3. If your router has UPnP option, open it! our FTP client has build-in UPnP Portmapping and maps the incoming identify querys to your computer automatically
