Possible options:

No proxy server: Direct connection to the configured server.
Use default proxy server: Use the proxy server which is configured as default in Proxy Server.
Use selected proxy server: Select a proxy server from the list.

Test server connection: Tests communication between the IGEL server and your FTP server.

Synchronize downloaded Universal Firmware Updates within UMS WebDAV directories

Downloaded Universal Firmware Updates are automatically synchronized between the servers in a High Availability (HA) network. This applies only if a WebDAV directory is configured as the target path for the download. See (12.01-en) Which Files Are Automatically Synchronized between the IGEL UMS Servers?.

The Universal Firmware Updates are not synchronized between the HA servers.

Further information regarding the Universal Firmware Update can be found under (12.01-en) Universal Firmware Update.
