According to the original FTP specification, credentials required for access to FTP servers are transferred
through a network as plaintext. This means that the user name and password can be intercepted by an
eavesdropper using a packet sniffer.
8.1.5 When to validate
As validation is a resource-intensive operation, it makes sense to schedule validation to the managed
machine's off-peak period. On the other hand, if you prefer to be immediately informed whether the
data is not corrupted and can be successfully recovered, consider starting validation right after the
task creation.
Choose one of the following:

Now - to start the validation task right after its creation, that is, after clicking OK on the
Validation page.

Later - to start the one-time validation task, at the date and time you specify.
Specify the appropriate parameters as follows:

Date and time - the date and time when to start the task.

The task will be started manually (do not schedule the task) - select this check box, if you
wish to start the task manually later.

On schedule - to schedule the task. To learn more about how to configure the scheduling
parameters, please see the Scheduling (p. 81) section.
8.1.6 Task credentials
Provide credentials for the account under which the task will run.
To specify credentials
1. Select one of the following:

Use current user credentials
The task will run under the credentials with which the user who starts the tasks is logged on.
If the task has to run on schedule, you will be asked for the current user's password on
completing the task creation.

Use the following credentials
The task will always run under the credentials you specify, whether started manually or
executed on schedule.
Specify:

User name. When entering the name of an Active Directory user account, be sure to also
specify the domain name (DOMAIN\Username or Username@domain).

Password. The password for the account.
2. Click OK.
