General Features
  • jftpgw is free in the sense of the GNU General Public License
Features related to the daemon
  • jftpgw uses a documented configuration file instead of cryptic commandline switches
  • Regular users can run the proxy server on unprivileged ports as well
  • jftpgw runs as a daemon and rereads its configuration files in case it receives a SIGHUP
  • If run as root, it drops the privileges as often as possible (anybody familiar with writing programs run as root? I am not!)
  • Active as well as passive FTP transfers (the mode between the client and the proxy may differ from the mode between proxy and real ftp server)
  • jftpw is able to act as a transparent proxy (since 0.0.10a)
User authentication features
  • Various login strings are possible. You can even use another ftp proxy between jftpgw and the real FTP server
  • You can pretend to run a real ftp server (see defaultforward option)
  • Other forward (UserAlias) features are also possible. So you may specify an alias for a user with a password and jftpgw logs in to the real server as another user with another password. That way you are able to create accounts on the real machine by adding accounts to the jftpgw proxy.
Possibilities to restrict users
  • Access control features, you can specify the user names that may connect from a specific host or IP range to another specific host or IP range.
  • Specify how many users are allowed to log in from an IP range
  • The throughput rate can be throttled according to which user logs in from which IP range/host to another IP Range/host
  • Logging of connection attempts
  • Several logfile options are provided: You can specify the issued commands you want to have logged in one file or more files (with different sets of commands to log) as well as one logfile for each ftp session
