SuSE has developed a nice one. Search for "proxy suite" on their web site. It allows internal users to connect to any site using "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" syntax, and external users are connected to one internal FTP site specified in the config file. e.g. internal user wants to connect to ftp.example.com: >>> ftp firewall <<< connected >>> USER [EMAIL PROTECTED] <<< Connected to ftp.example.com. Send e-mail addr as passwd. >>> PASS [EMAIL PROTECTED] (user uploads/downloads etc.) or if an external user wants to connect to the internal FTP server at example.net and you have ftp.example.net pointing to the external IP address of the firewall: >>> ftp ftp.example.net (proxy connects to internal FTP site) <<< Connected >>> USER anonymous <<< OK send e-mail address as password >>> PASS [EMAIL PROTECTED] (user uploads/downloads etc.) External users cannot use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" syntax to connect to other FTP sites. They are forced to connect to the FTP server specified in the config file. -- Michael Wood | Tel: +27 21 762 0276 | http://www.kingsley.co.za/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fax: +27 21 761 9930 | Kingsley Technologies
