More Options

NameDescription
CipherStandard is most secure, but has the greatest impact on connection speed.

Fast is less secure than Standard but can give reasonable transfer rates for devices with limited cryptographic speed.

Disabled removes all security in favor of maximizing connection speed. Disabling the security should only be used within a secure, trusted network.
Connect TimeoutTime (in seconds) before the system stops attempting to establish a connection with the remote system.
