Folks, I am trying once again to set up ftp-proxy to use at work. My problem is that we have a Cisco PIX which I'm not allowed get rid of so I may be trying a non-standard use of ftp-proxy. It may not even be designed to work this way so a quick 'yes, it will work' or 'not a hope in hell!!' would be great. Pointers in the right direction would also be nice ;-)
I'm trying to use 3.9 (rebuilt and made new release last week). All users behind the firewall have web access through a proxy (squid) which also allows them download ftp access only. Unfortunately some users need upload access too and I'm hoping that ftp-proxy can do what I need. I can either use a machine with a single nic inside the firewall and give that machine full access through the PIX, or a machine with dual nics - one inside and one outside the firewall. Will either of these configs work or will ftp-proxy only work when the machine it is running on is the actual firewall? If it will run a non-firewall machine, can you please point me in the right direction ; I do not expect a complete pf.conf or anything like that. I'm happy to spend time on this if I know a certain config will work - I just can't afford to waste time on something that will never work!! I have played a little with the dual nic config but not sure if it just will never work or if I've buggered something in pf.conf. Many, many thanks to any who reply. Alan Smith.
