ftp reverse proxy

Marco_113 — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 17:49:52 GMT

Hi all,
i'm looking for a solution to setup an architecture of ftp reverse proxy.

I've a server with public IP that i want to be reachable from Internet. This server has to forward requests from Internte to my Lan server ftp.

I've tried squid and apache but it doesn't work properly.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

Shalom,

If you want to forward ftp traffic, and that is not the meaning of your post title btw, you are best using a firewall.

I use firestarter for this.

Its got a GUI and is very,very easy to use.

I suggest to use standart iptables tool with "ip_conntrack_ftp" module (installed on server with public IP) for ftp packets forwarding.
There are lots of ruleset examples already on the Internet, try a Google search.

Thanks,
i solved using suse proxy suite.

I tried to use iptables, but i had a routing problem because beetween the public server and internal server ther's a firewall.
