Ftp-proxy is a proxy for the Internet File Transfer Protocol. FTP control connections are being redirected into the proxy, after which the proxy connects to the server on behalf of the client. The proxy allows data connections to pass, rewriting and redirecting them so that the right addresses are used. All connections from the client to the server have their source address rewritten so they appear to come from the proxy. Consequently, all connections from the server to the proxy have their destination address rewritten, so they are redirected to the client.
