FTP Proxy using Squid
by pawanbhunjun from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4SYA7)
Hello Everyone,
i have a problem which i am trying to solve.
Current Structure;
i have an FTP server running on microsoft azure which allows only one fixed public ip to access it.
Due to cost cutting plans we need to remove the public IP and to continue using the FTP server i have the following structure in mind.
CLIENT PC ----> PROXY SERVER IN AZURE ----> FTP SERVER AZURE
The proxy will have a public IP which will be registered in the FTP server allowing only it to access it. On the client side they can have dynamic addresses and they use the proxy to use its public ip to finds its way to the FTP.
Can anyone help me with this project and will it actually work? I read on the squid.conf that FTP is still experimental and for this reason i have doubts.
thank you to advise if my plans are ok or should i go a different route.
thank you
kind regards,
pawan.
