Hello,
of course you do not disturb me!
I do not know what you have to do for cascaded proxying, sorry. But since they behave like a server to the client and like a client to the server, it might be possible. I have not experimented with it, but would certainly be interested in results if you should find out more.
:-) Volker, you forgot the TransparentProxy feature. So the answer is yes, you can cascade the ftp-proxies using it as a transparent ftp-proxy on the gateways. The problem is, the ftp protocol doesn't support this, so you really need to install it on the gateways, because you have to redirect all outgoing requests to port 21 to the proxy. If you and your ISP has a Linux Box as a router/gateway in his net (of course, there may be other "non-Linux" gateways between the two Linux gateways), it is possible to do this.

Hi, i hope to not to disturb you, but i'm in trouble, i have to know if ftp-proxy ca be a proxy for another ftp-proxy, and if yes, have you already experiment it, and naturaly what is the parameter to forward the ftp requests to another proxy (i have to implement a local proxy behind a firewall, that forward the requests to a ftp-proxy at my ISP side)
Thanks in advance (your ftp is great ;-) Patrice Valentin
