FortiGate AntiVirus Proxy-Based FTPs issue

After some search, It seems to be related to SSL/SSH Inspection Profile.... I don't wanted to do any SSL insecption. So what should I configure as profile for that ? 

If I do something like that, it doesn't work :

I I do "Full SSL Insepction" like that. It works (my FTPs connect works...)

Why when I enabled FTPS in SSL pofile

I have the FortiGate certificate (expected behaviour, from winscp for exemple)

And I disabled it, my querie failed without any logs : 

Hi ! 

Someone can help me ? It seems to be a "bug" or a mistake in configuration... 

Hi again ! I founded the culprit. It was related to protocol options... 

If I setted FTPs works perfectly.

Someone can help me and give me more information about protocol options ? I'm not sure  I totally understand this feature :)

Hi Team,

If you enable the protocol option field, scanning will be taking place on that port.

If you disable the protocol options field, scanning will not be taking place on that port.

For example, lets say you have blocked specific web page and in the protocol options you have disabled HTTP, in this case, scanning will not be taking place on HTTP and so firewall cannot block the website.

For your scenario, could you please get the working and non working flow filter logs.

Flow filter debug:

diag debug reset

diag debug disable

diag debug flow filter addr FTP_server_IP

diag debug flow show function-name enable

diag debug flow trace start 10000

diag debug enable

Once you get the output, you can stop debug by executing this command:

diag debug disable

I suspect, session helper which is required for FTP traffic is not getting initiated.

But we need to check debug flow for the same

Hi ! 

Thanks for your return.

Please fin here debug logs

Hi,

As I can see session helper is present when FTPs works
