NAME

       jftpgw - an FTP application level proxy/gateway


SYNOPSIS

       jftpgw [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
       different configuration than the versions released previously.  The new
       configuration 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.
