NAME

6       Net::FTPServer::Proxy::Server - Proxy FTP server
7

SYNOPSIS

9         proxy-ftpd [-d] [-v] [-p port] [-s] [-S] [-V] [-C conf_file]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       "Net::FTPServer::Proxy::Server" is a "reverse proxy" FTP server which
13       just forwards requests through to another FTP server. You can use it
14       for firewalls, for example.
15

CONFIGURATION

17       "Net::FTPServer::Proxy::Server" can only proxy to one FTP server for
18       each virtual host. In other words, it doesn't make remote servers
19       appear as subdirectories or anything like that, since the FTP
20       authentication protocol makes this very hard.
21
22       You will need to start the FTP server using the "proxy-ftpd.pl" script.
23
24       To proxy a single server, you need this global configuration file
25       entry:
26
27        proxy to: hostname [port]
28
29       To proxy multiple servers using IP-based virtual hosts, use:
30
31        enable virtual hosts: 1
32
33        <Host proxy.bob.example.com>
34          ip: 1.2.3.4
35          proxy to: hostname1 [port]
36        </Host>
37
38        <Host proxy.bob.example.com>
39          ip: 1.2.3.5
40          proxy to: hostname2 [port]
41        </Host>
