FTP proxy!

[Tim Panton - Westhawk Ltd]

I'm afraid you will need to read the
Ftp RFC if you want to try to proxy
it. You might find the proxy easier
to implement if you limit it to supporting clients that can do PASV.

As I recall FTP uses 2 sockets, one for commands, and one for data.
Traditionally the command 
connection is inbound (from client to
server) ana the data connection is
outbound (from server to client).
The PASV command (if supported)
reverses the direction of the data
connection.

Good luck. 
Tim.
