Hello,
What sort of FTP support does Squid actually give, what I mean is does
it actually uses ports 21 and 20 for the control and data between itself and
the client (browser/ command line ftp), and on to the ftp server. How can this
be when the host running squid may itself have a ftp server deamon running?
+----------------+ control +-------+ +---------+
� �--------->21 �------->21 �
� Client Browser � � SQUID � � FIREWALL�
�FTP command line� � � � FTP �
� �<-------->20 �<------>20 SERVER �
+----------------+ data +-------+ +---------+
Or perhaps Squid is not actually doing FTP at all but just using the HTTP
PUT and GET methods across the normal HTTP port (say 80 or 8080), to perform a
FTP like ability (In which case command FTP will not be possible), so
limiting FTP like access via a Web server.
Thanks in advance for any replys.
