Why each option
The Cisco WSA supports FTP over HTTP as its FTP proxy type, tunneling FTP requests within HTTP connections rather than handling native FTP directly.
Non-native FTP is not a defined or supported FTP proxy type on the Cisco WSA platform.
FTP over UDP tunneling is not a supported proxy mechanism on the Cisco WSA.
Cisco WSA supports FTP over HTTP proxying, which allows FTP requests to be forwarded through the standard HTTP proxy channel. In this mode, the browser sends FTP requests formatted as HTTP to the proxy, and the WSA handles the FTP protocol on behalf of the client. This is the only FTP proxy mode supported by the WSA in explicit proxy configurations.
Hybrid FTP is not a recognized or supported FTP proxy type in Cisco WSA documentation.
