FTP servers can host a distributed server repository. You might already have FTP servers in your environment, and you can store Trellix content there as well.
FTP repositories are:
Fast
Able to manage extensive loads from the clients pulling data
Helpful in a DMZ where HTTP might not be optimal and UNC shares can't be used
Using FTP servers, your clients do not need authentication and can use an anonymous log on pull their content. No authentication reduces the chance that a client fails to pull its content.
You can use an FTP server to host a distributed repository. Use FTP server software, such as Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS), to create a folder and site location for the distributed repository. See your web server documentation for details.
Important
Only Standard FTP (Active Mode) is supported for distributed repositories.
The following types and modes are not supported:
FTP (Passive Mode)
FTPS (FTP over SSL/TLS)
SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol)
