<h3>Summary</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the proxying
|
||
FTP sites. Note that FTP support is currently limited to
|
||
the GET method.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling FTP proxy requests,
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_ftp.html">mod_proxy_ftp</a></code>
|
||
have to be present in the server.</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
|
||
<p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
|
||
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
|
||
large.</p>

|
||
<p>You probably don't have that particular file type defined as
|

<code>application/octet-stream</code> in your proxy's mime.types
|

configuration file. A useful line can be:</p>
|
||
|

<div class="example"><pre>application/octet-stream bin dms lha lzh exe class tgz taz</pre></div>
|
||
<p>Alternatively you may prefer to use the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/core.html#forcetype">ForceType</a></code>
|
||
directive to default everything to binary:</p>
|
||
<div class="example"><pre class="prettyprint lang-config">ForceType application/octet-stream</pre>

|

|
||
<p>In the rare situation where you must download a specific file using the
|
||
FTP <code>ASCII</code> transfer method (while the default transfer is in
|
||
<code>binary</code> mode), you can override <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>'s
|
||
default by suffixing the request with <code>;type=a</code> to force an
|
||
ASCII transfer. (FTP Directory listings are always executed in ASCII mode,
|
||
however.)</p>

|
||
<p>Currently, only GET is supported for FTP in <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. You can
|
||
of course use HTTP upload (POST or PUT) through an Apache proxy.</p>

<h2><a name="percent2fhck" id="percent2fhck">How can I access FTP files outside

|
||
<p>An FTP URI is interpreted relative to the home directory of the user
|
||
who is logging in. Alas, to reach higher directory levels you cannot
|
||
use /../, as the dots are interpreted by the browser and not actually
|
||
sent to the FTP server. To address this problem, the so called <dfn>Squid
|
||
%2f hack</dfn> was implemented in the Apache FTP proxy; it is a
|
||
solution which is also used by other popular proxy servers like the <a href="http://www.squid-cache.org/">Squid Proxy Cache</a>. By
|
||
prepending <code>/%2f</code> to the path of your request, you can make
|
||
such a proxy change the FTP starting directory to <code>/</code> (instead
|
||
of the home directory). For example, to retrieve the file
|
||
<code>/etc/motd</code>, you would use the URL:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
||
ftp://<var>user</var>@<var>host</var>/%2f/etc/motd
|
||
</code></p></div>

||

||
<h2><a name="ftppass" id="ftppass">How can I hide the FTP cleartext password
|
||
in my browser's URL line?</a> <a title="Permanent link" href="#ftppass" class="permalink">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>To log in to an FTP server by username and password, Apache uses
|
||
different strategies. In absence of a user name and password in the URL
|
||
altogether, Apache sends an anonymous login to the FTP server,
|
||
<em>i.e.</em>,</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
||
user: anonymous<br />
|
||
password: apache-proxy@
|
||
</code></p></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>This works for all popular FTP servers which are configured for
|
||
anonymous access.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>For a personal login with a specific username, you can embed the user
|
||
name into the URL, like in:</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
||
ftp://<var>username</var>@<var>host</var>/myfile
|
||
</code></p></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>If the FTP server asks for a password when given this username (which
|
||
it should), then Apache will reply with a <code>401</code> (Authorization
|
||
required) response, which causes the Browser to pop up the
|
||
username/password dialog. Upon entering the password, the connection
|
||
attempt is retried, and if successful, the requested resource is
|
||
presented. The advantage of this procedure is that your browser does not
|
||
display the password in cleartext (which it would if you had used</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="example"><p><code>
|
||
ftp://<var>username</var>:<var>password</var>@<var>host</var>/myfile
|
||
</code></p></div>
|
||
|
||
<p>in the first place).</p>
|
||
|
||
<div class="note"><h3>Note</h3>
|
||
<p>The password which is transmitted in such a way is not encrypted on
|
||
its way. It travels between your browser and the Apache proxy server in
|
||
a base64-encoded cleartext string, and between the Apache proxy and the
|
||
FTP server as plaintext. You should therefore think twice before
|
||
accessing your FTP server via HTTP (or before accessing your personal
|
||
files via FTP at all!) When using insecure channels, an eavesdropper
|
||
might intercept your password on its way.</p>

<h2><a name="wildcard" id="wildcard">Why do I get a file listing when I expected

a file to be downloaded?</a> <a title="Permanent link" href="#wildcard" class="permalink">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>In order to allow both browsing the directories on an FTP server and
|
||
downloading files, Apache looks at the request URL. If it looks like
|
||
a directory, or contains wildcard characters ("*?[{~"), then it
|
||
guesses that a listing is wanted instead of a download.</p>
|
||
<p>You can disable the special handling of names with wildcard characters.
