Distribute Configurations

This feature is available exclusively in the Pro version.

Export Configurations

In the app settings, tap Export Settings and Connections. FTPManager saves the exported configuration file in the local folder at /Local/settings.ftpmgr.plist.

Import Configurations

Open the configuration file (settings.ftpmgr.plist) and tap Import. Missing connections are created, while existing connections are updated.

Distribute Configurations with MDM

  1. Configure FTPManager and add connections.
  2. In app settings, tap Export Settings and Connections.
  3. Copy the exported configuration file (/Local/settings.ftpmgr.plist) to your computer.
  4. Assign the configuration file settings2.ftpmgr.plist to FTPManager in your MDM software.

Distribute Configurations with MDM and an HTTP Server

If your MDM system does not support plist files directly, FTPManager can download and import a plist file from an HTTP server.

  1. Export the FTPManager configuration to a plist file.

  2. Put the plist file on your HTTP server.

  3. Set the ConfURL property in your MDM and assign it to the plist download link.

    ConfURL = https://www.skyjos.com/ftpmanager/mdm/settings.ftpmgr.plist

  4. Set the VersionUUID property in your MDM. It can be any string.

    VersionUUID = A7DD3340-FE2C-4815-99AF-D806FB1E08DB

When applying a new plist, change the VersionUUID. FTPManager downloads the plist and updates its configurations.

Custom Configurations with MDM

FTPManager supports custom MDM configurations for locking app settings, locking connection settings, and creating dynamic connection paths.

Lock App Settings

Open the exported plist file and set MDM_Lock_Setting to true. Users can no longer change app settings.

<key>MDM_Lock_Setting</key>
<true/>

Lock Connection Settings

Open the exported plist file and set MDM_Lock_Connection_Setting to true. Users can no longer change connection settings, and connection passwords are not saved on the iOS device.

<key>MDM_Lock_Connection_Setting</key>
<true/>

Dynamic Connection Paths

Set %USER_NAME% in a connection path to replace it with the connection username. Set %DEVICE_NAME% to replace it with the iOS device name.
