JFTPGW(1) User Manuals JFTPGW(1)NAMEjftpgw - an FTP application level proxy/gateway
SYNOPSISjftpgw [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the program jftpgw which is an FTP
proxy/gateway that uses the FTP protocol (unlike those FTP proxies that
fetch via FTP but provide the file via HTTP). You can use it to make
servers behind a firewall/NAT server (masquerading server) accessible
or to allow users behind such solutions to transfer files to and from
the outside of the LAN.
OPTIONS-e, --encrypt
Start the small, built-in password creation. jftpgw will read
your input password, output a crypt()ed version of this password
and exit.
-f, --configfile FILE
Read FILE instead of the default configfile (instead of the
built-in location)
-h, --help
Display a short help text.
-i, --inetd
Tell jftpgw that it is run from inetd. In this case it will not
try to become a daemon.
-s, --single
Run only a single thread of jftpgw (you won't need this option
in the normal use. It's nice for debugging, to trace the program
or execute it within a debugger).
-t, --tcpwrap
Use libwrap for access control. This will disable the "normal"
access control via the "access allow|deny" directives in the
configuration file. Make sure you have libwrap support compiled
in (check with --version)
-V, -v, --version
Display the version number and exit.
NOTES
Please note that the 0.13.x version is the first one that has a differ‐
ent configuration than the versions released previously. The new con‐
figuration has a completely different (more flexible) configuration
system and the internal structure changed a lot.
AVAILABILITY
The latest release is available on the jftpgw homepage.
