About the only thing I can think of that would allow any form of mechanism to share multiple internal ftp servers from a single external ip address would be something like the ftp-gw that was included in the old TIS "FWTK" (Fire Wall Tool Kit). You first FTP into ftp-gw (it listens on the standard ftp port) and then for the username, you use "username@hostname_or_address" and it redirects your ftp session to that internal ftp server. Works well for outbound ftp proxy also. -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Bittner [mailto:bittner@rz.fh-heilbronn.de] Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 11:02 AM To: suse-security@suse.com Subject: Re: [suse-security] host header mechanism for ftp servers? i guess not. since ftp doesnt have any mechanism like http-headers or so forth. you connect to an ip basically, and send user/pass and then you are logged in. no other authentication or extra data can be sent for telling in what ftp server/subsite you want to login .... i dont know of any standard that ftp could achieve such thing... cheers, andy ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 5:46 PM Subject: [suse-security] host header mechanism for ftp servers?

Hi Is there an ftp server / ftp reverse proxy being capable of resolving multiple domains a similar way http servers do? I have only 1 public IP address and I should run two different ftp server boxes. Thanks & regards philipp
