Hi all,
Any reccomendations what to install (or avoid) on my firewall,
from 4.4 /usr/ports/ftp/ to be a proxy ftpd server ?
My Background:
- I'm not looking for high performance,
(it's not a big company, just my home site with some internal hosts).
- I will have the usual security concerns with the imminent arrival
of a flat rate permanent DSL connection :-)
- /usr/libexec/ftpd does not (at least did not) support proxy requests.
- I have apache installed on my firewall & am using FTP_PROXY=http://gate
but often remote ports distfile ftpd hosts refuse to serve me,
perhaps because my apache is asking remote server on port 80, not ftp port.
I looked at /usr/share/doc/handbook & faq but noticed nothing.
I investigated ports/ftp/* with grep -i prox etc ...
POSSIBLES:
bftpd: Very configurable FTP server that can do chroot easily
CHANGELOG: You can have bftpd bind to only
one interface, for example, if you want to
run an FTP proxy server on the same port
on another network interface.
lukemftpd: Enhanced ftp server from NetBSD
src/ftpd.cat8: prevents `third-party proxy ftp'
muddleftpd: A new ftp server that can perform a variety of ftp tasks
src/proxy.c
oftpd: A threaded, anonymous only FTP server designed for security
grep shows no prox
proftpd: Highly configurable ftp daemon
grep shows no prox
pure-ftpd: A small, easy to set up, fast and very secure FTP server my distfile corrup, so not grepped.
vsftpd: A FTP daemon that aims to be "very secure"
grep shows no prox
wu-ftpd: A replacement ftp server for Un*x systems
The zero-length .notar file can confuse
some web clients and FTP proxies
TO AVOID:
ncftpd: commercial
yale-tftpd: tftp
I'd appreciate comment please. IE which should I use ? Thanks.
