ftp proxy with cache

[Max Clark]

Hi all,

I am looking to configure a ftp proxy for use over a low speed link. I would
like to be able to ftp upload from a local lan connected client to this
proxy, have the proxy server connect to the ftp server, spool the data
transfer, and upload for as long as it takes over the link, giving the lan
connect pc a fast session and the apearance of a fast transfer.

Are there any proxy servers out there that do this? If not how would one
build something like this?

Thanks in advance,
Max

I think squid does this in addition to web proxying and caching.  See
http://www.squid-cache.org.  The port is /usr/ports/www/squid.
