ftp proxy
Does any one have any knowledge on Linux based ftp proxies that can work also in a transparent mode?? 10x
Re: FTP Proxy Recommendations
WGET is just webget. It's a small executable which can fetch a file for you, given it's URL. However, it can also recursively get a directory (or site). There are many such programs for Win32, most of which can recursively get an ftp directory, given it's URL, even if they need to pass through an ftp->http gateway (which squid can be). Actually, I'm sure most of those programs do not even support a real ftp proxy. > ôåôåá éáâðé wrote: > > >But...after reading another message he has sent to > >the list, I can concloude that Squid is indeed enough > >for him.

Re: FTP Proxy Recommendations
SuSE developed a GPL ftp proxy/firewall. Check at www.suse.com or www.suse.de. If you don't find it, write me and I'll mail the exact URL (saw it today by accident ...)

Re: FTP Proxy Recommendations
Right, my bad (although I'd call it an HTTP gateway to FTP, not HTML). In that case, I'd go with TIS FWTK. Easy to configure, and in case you ever feel the need it can be extended to support many other protocols (i.e., ssh over plug-gw). Tried and tested. But...after reading another message he has sent to the list, I can concloude that Squid is indeed enough for him. The fact that Netscape cannot leech (or suck) whole directories is really irrelevant - if one needs such functionality, one can just use something more specific (such as WGET or mirror.pl, I'm sure there are such W32 clients. Heck, there's even LWP::Simple). The added benefit of actual caching might be worth it, although not as much as it would be for HTTP proxying. Ilya Konstantinov wrote: > > Notice he says "(WS-FTP)".

Look at socks5. It has a general windows proxy "daemon" that intercepts all requests and if configured to do so, passes them to a socks5 host. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Title: RE: FTP Proxy Recommendations Thanks for your attention to my problem. Here started a mini-discussion about SQUID, so I would like to point to the reasons I decided that SQUID is not enough: I can not (or maybe don't know how to) get entire directories using Netscape - No1, and can not configure MS FTP clients to work through SQUID - No2.

Re: FTP Proxy Recommendations
Notice he says "(WS-FTP)". Squid provides an HTML gateway to FTP while he needs a clean FTP gateway, when the firewall is an pseudo-FTP server to which you login as "USER remoteusername@remotehost" or maybe "USER remoteusername@remotehost firewall" username. Then, the gateway would pass the clean FTP protocol.

Re: FTP Proxy Recommendations
Squid can handle ftp proxying more than adequately. Actually, it does that very well. What, if anything, did you find to be lacking in Squid for it to serve as an ftp proxy? > ôåôåá éáâðé wrote: > > I need some recommendations about right choice of FTP Application Gateway > for my corporate subnet. > We have Squid as HTTP proxy running on 486 machine with RH52 serving MS > clients for Internet access.

FTP Proxy Recommendations
Title: FTP Proxy Recommendations I need some recommendations about right choice of FTP Application Gateway for my corporate subnet. We have Squid as HTTP proxy running on 486 machine with RH52 serving MS clients for Internet access. Now I want to add a FTP support for Win95/NT machines (WS-FTP). The world (SQUID) is not enough. So I began looking for a FTP proxy daemon on Linuxberg/Freashmeat. Didn't find a lot. A proxy does not need to be very sophisticated (basic security and logging will do) but should be transparent for the once configured clients and co-exist with SQUID. My apologies for some kind of newbie questions, but maybe someone can share with me his experience and recommend any good FTP application gateway ?
