<header>Frox FTP Proxy</header>
|
|
|
|
Frox is a server that can intercept and forward FTP connections made by
|
|
clients that are routed through your server. This allows you to cache
|
|
commonly downloaded FTP content, enforce access control over which clients
|
|
are allow to use FTP, and limit the amount of bandwidth that can be consumed.
|
|
This of it as the equivalent of Squid, but for the FTP protocol instead of
|
|
HTTP. <p>
|
|
|
|
It is not particularly useful unless your system is gateway between an
|
|
internal network and the internet - if you are just looking for a way to
|
|
cache FTP content on a single system, it is better to use Squid instead. <p>
|
|
|
|
For Frox to work properly, a firewall rule must be created to redirect all
|
|
routed traffic on port 21 to the port Frox listens on. If you are running
|
|
Linux and using the Linux Firewall module to manage your firewall, this module
|
|
can setup this rule for you easily. <p>
