File transfers  

Run DigiSecret Agent at Windows startup - makes DigiSecret agent launch automatically when Windows starts. DigiSecret Agent is responsible for accepting files from other users via TCP/IP. When it is launched, its icon is displayed in the system tray. Right-clicking on the icon brings up a menu with Agent options that also allows you to open a DigiSecret window or a Message Encryption Center window.

Listen for file transfers at Agent startup
- as soon as the DigiSecret Agent is launched, it opens a TCP/IP port (by default 4012) for accepting files from other users. If you do not wish to accept file transfers, this option can be disabled and enabled when needed via system tray icon menu.

Listen on TCP port - the port number on which the program listens for files, as well as the default port number for outgoing connections.

Download folder (where received files will be stored) - the path to the folder where files received from other users will be stored.

Remember most recently used IP addresses - select this option if you would like to keep a list of most recently used IP addresses.

Number of IP addresses to remember - the number of recently used IP addresses which should be preserved for future use. The stored list of addresses is encrypted. If you do not wish to keep the list of IP addresses, enter 0 (zero) in this field.


Firewall  

Use SOCKS5 firewall - check this box if your computer is behind a firewall and direct TCP connections are blocked. This option allows DigiSecret to work on client machines behind most of the popular firewalls/proxy servers.

Host
- specify the hostname/IP address of the SOCKS firewall.

Port
- specify the port number of the SOCKS firewall.

User authentication
- allows you to enter your login and password if the firewall requires authentication. The supported authentication type is RFC 1929 (cleartext).
