Hi,

I got some questions about the files, dirs and the usage of the FTP server.


The useraccounts are created by an application in background (stored in db).
So there is no need for a ui or direct user creation/ update/ delete
possibility (start as windows service).
Can I disable the user-queries I don't need?
(Or is there some reason leave them in, also the files like user.gen,
ftpd_ui.x...?)


Additional I've got a question about the usage behind a proxy on same
machine/ server.
The port 20 is declared for data connection, so how the configuration will
be handled when using the

<pasv-port>0</pasv-port>

for configuration in [ftp.xml]? I'm not sure how to interpret "any free" in
the doc?
Does these config will cause problems in combination with a proxy?

I've think about something like:
<pasv-port>11033</pasv-port> (and in socketfactory <port>11034</port>)

... so the proxy have to be informed about the ports?!
(Maybe through [httpd.conf] in Apache2 server dir)
  Listen 20
  Listen 21

Or shouldn't I care about this issue?

Second point is the secured use over SSL. If I wanne provide simple AND
secured access over same server, is there anything to pay attention for? So
the client should choose which security level is needed.
(Maybe it isn't possible to do so? Or not recommended? Are there special
needs for the usage with a proxy - except apache SSL configuration?)



By the way, maybe someone got an idea for a reverse proxy using apache2
webserver?

I've defined a ftp access over http to connect to the ftp server indirectly.
But I'm not able to set up the transparent access via ftp - and I'm not
really sure where/ how to locate the (I think my ;) mistake.
# [httpd.conf]
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
# http acces to ftp server
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /ftp ftp://192.168.1.120
ProxyPassReverse /ftp ftp://192.168.1.120


So by this a request in browser is possible useing:
http://localhost/ftp


I've also tried to redirect the ftp requests par "ProxyRemote" into the
httpd.conf
# [httpd.conf]
ProxyRemote ftp ftp://192.168.1.120

Is it possible to define the FTP server as a proxy here?


If it's not the right place for ask these questions - I'm sorry in advance,
but I don't know where to look for further information.


Thanks for reading,
