NAME

jftpgw - an FTP application level proxy/gateway

SYNOPSIS

jftpgw [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents the program jftpgw which is an
FTP proxy/gateway that uses the FTP protocol (unlike those FTP
proxies that fetch via FTP but provide the file via HTTP). You
can use it to make servers behind a firewall/NAT server (mas
querading server) accessible or to allow users behind such solu
tions to transfer files to and from the outside of the LAN.

OPTIONS

-e, --encrypt
Start the small, built-in password creation. jftpgw
will read your input password, output a crypt()ed version of this
password and exit.
-f, --configfile FILE
Read FILE instead of the default configfile (in
stead of the built-in location)
-h, --help
Display a short help text.
-i, --inetd
Tell jftpgw that it is run from inetd. In this case
it will not try to become a daemon.
-s, --single
Run only a single thread of jftpgw (you won't need
this option in the normal use. It's nice for debugging, to trace
the program or execute it within a debugger).
-t, --tcpwrap
Use libwrap for access control. This will disable
the "normal" access control via the "access allow|deny" direc
tives in the configuration file. Make sure you have libwrap sup
port compiled in (check with --version)
-V, -v, --version
Display the version number and exit.

NOTES

Please note that the 0.13.x version is the first one that
has a different configuration than the versions released previ
ously. The new configuration has a completely different (more
flexible) configuration system and the internal structure changed
a lot.

AVAILABILITY

The latest release is available on the jftpgw homepage.
