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.
