FTP Client Proxy Package
-
Source - My WAN IP
If that's your only WAN IP, it can be left blank. That box is primarily for people who need it to exit a VIP or some other different IP, perhaps if your WAN is behind NAT.
Bind Port - 21
Don't do that. Leave it blank.
JIMP - Huge thanks for the quick turn around on this package, I think you just convinced me to say thankyou with a gold subscription :-)
You're welcome, glad it helped!

I suspect lots of people will use soon as they see it.

Thanks a lot!!
I only need ftp once every few years like when some provider has support files only available via anonymous ftp. So as bad as ftp may be not being able to use it is a real pain.

I removed the broken IPv6 setting and I added fields for source bypass and destination bypass.
At least that way, if you have a secure FTP server you could add it to the bypass list so that the proxy won't break it.

Thanks a lot for your package !!!
It save me many days of troubleshouting…
I also think that I am not the only one in this case.
Hope that pfSense team will quickly correct this bug.
Thanks again.

Just want to chime in here - upgraded hardware and installed 2.2 and immediately got bitten by the lack of ftp-proxy.
This package saved tons of time during the hectic upgrade. -
I suspected that might be the case. Proxying IPv6 seems like a bad idea anyow. I may rip that option out next rev.
In environments, where users are trying to build a new IPv6 only network, that option may be very well received (for proxying IPv6 clients to IPv4 only servers). If that is possible, it would be nice to be included. Of course not needing FTP at all would be quite better… ;)

It wasn't a 6-to-4 style proxy or anything that interesting, it was for v6 to v6 only, which is pretty useless except maybe in the presence of strict outbound firewall rules that the proxy could help with.

Like any other package. System - Packages.

There is no package "ftpproxy".
"freeradius2" is the last, then "gwled" is the next one.
Will it be visible after I have done the update? -
The package is for 2.2.x only…

Hi! Sorry for my bad English.
I use FTP server on port 1221. In PFsense 2.1 I configure ftphelper with option debug.pfftpports. But in PFsense 2.2 I can't confirure packet "FTP client proxy" for work with port differing from 21. Help, please! -
The ftp-proxy(8) daemon seems to only work properly with a server on port 21, so there does not appear be a way to accommodate that scenario at this time.
-
Whatever you do, don't use a vpn. That would be too easy…
-
Thank you very much for this package !! ;D
that should do the trick for some of my customers who are stuck with application that use "archaic" FTP Active client to update :)
Will try it in next maintenance 8)

Thank you very much for this package!

Hi,
is it possible to add more than one ip on bypass list? -

Make an alias and put the alias name there.
