- Thread-topic: RFE: Add Support for CCC Command From Latest FTPS Proposal
Please add support for the "CCC" (Clear Command Channel) command
detailed in the latest FTPS proposal at
http://www.ford-hutchinson.com/~fh-1-pfh/ftps-ext.html. While the new
pasv_behind_router option in version 2.0.18 is useful, it doesn't solve
the issue of FTP application gateway/proxy compatibility for passive
FTP. When the "CCC" command is used (and allowed by the FTP application
gateway/proxy), the FTP application gateway/proxy is able to read the
response to the PASV command and create ad hoc proxies for the
appropriate data channel ports. Otherwise, you must open a specific
range of ports for use with passive FTP.
Thanks,
Kevan Brown
PS: Also, please make your support for FTPS more robust in general.
