Hello proxy-suite list, some things i don't understand to configure a transparent-proxy for ftp. The proxy has to redirect internel ftp requests to externel ftp server. The machine is a SuSe 2.2.19 kernel with SuSe 7.0 environment and marcs ipchains firewall 4.9 At time i use squid for ftp and http requests at port 3128 and a Proftp Server for the internal net on port 21 starting in inetd. Now i set up /etc/proxy-suite/ftp-proxy.conf and /usr/local/etc/proxy-suite/ftp-proxy.conf Do i have to setup both files? AllowTransProxy yes AllowMagicUser yes UseMagicChar % PortResetsPasv yes DestinationTransferMode passive Listen 172.16.2.5 #internal Router IP LogDestination deamon ServerType Standalone like the TransProxy-mini-Howto I renamed the startscript ./ftp-proxy/rcscript to /sbin/rcftp-proxy and make it executable first time after starting the error: TECH-ERR can't detach daemon comes up. After disabling proftp in inetd it was possible to start the proxy with /sbin/rcftp-proxy start and login localy. How can i configure my proftp to listen localy on port 21 and use the proxy for outgoing ftp demands? testing the proxy localy works well if i test it from a client with disabling proxy the client connect directly to the foreign ftp server, there is no entry in /var/log/messasges Why does the "transparent" doesn't work? Masquerading is done by the firewall, do i have to disable ftp-forwarding in FW_MASQ_MODULES= ? -- Best regards, Dietmar mailto:earthmate@gmx.net
