Hi,
I also wanted a reverse FTP proxy. Not being aware of the existing patch to
`ftp-proxy', I developed my own. I think it is better in two ways:
(1) It supports EPSV in reverse mode (though I haven't tested it with v6
addresses).
(2) It is better documented.
I hope we can get one of these patches integrated into the official sources.
It's kindof a drag finding out I didn't need to do this in the first place.
Well, I sent my patch to the OpenBSD gods -- we'll see if they accept it.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a proxy for the Internet File Transfer Protocol.
! .Pp
! The proxy can function either as a regular "forward" (outbound) proxy, or as
! a "reverse" (inbound) proxy. Reverse mode allows redirection of incoming
! FTP requests through a firewall to a host with a private IP address.
! .Pp

command.
An example of how to do that is further down in this document.
.Pp
+ In reverse mode, the proxy is invoked directly by
+ .Xr inetd 8
+ in response to a connection attempt received by the firewall at its own
+ address.
+ .Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds

+ In reverse mode,

+ ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftp-proxy ftp-proxy -R ftp-server
+ .Ed
+ .Pp
+ where
+ .Ar ftp-server
+ is the name or address of the actual FTP server host.
+ .Pp
+ As with forward mode, it is necessary for the
+ .Xr pf.conf 5
+ rules to allow incoming connections on the external interface to the proxy
+ data ports. See the examples above.
