Setup#

Go to the server preferences, and select tunnels.

Create a new tunnel, using the HTTP(S) Tunnel type. Enable Auto start, and Use Chunked Encoding. The name is not important, but something simple will do.

The local client port must be 55555. That is five fives.

The destination host must be 127.0.0.1, and the destination port can be anything as it will be ignored for this configuration.

Set the in Channels, and out Channels to be an appropriate multiplier for the speed gain you are looking for. You want to use the smallest value possible that still gives you the performance you need. I usually suggest something around 10 to 20. The min should be 1, and the max should be between 10 and 20. Enable the Auto checkbox on both as well.

Ports#

Next, go to the IP / Servers tab in the server preferences. Add two new server port items. The first on 55521 (FTP), and the other on 55580 (HTTP). Both should have their IP set to 127.0.0.1, and have the User Connection Group set to the same value as your main server's HTTPS ports value.

These ports, their protocol, and IPs must be set as defined. They will be used internally as part of the tunnel process. They must be FTP and HTTP respectively. They will be tunneled over the secure HTTPS tunnel.

Users#

Open the user manager, and select your user you want to allow to use the accelerated tunnel. Grant them access to that tunnel.

At this point, you can login and use the WebInterface and start getting the accelerated speeds.

HTTP#

Using the normal WebInterface now will allow for accelerated transfers when you use the advanced uploader, or advanced downloader.

To get the advanced downloader, add the files into a basket by right clicking and selecting Add To Basket. Then use the advanced link to download.
