[users@httpd] mod_proxy_ftp question

[Ian Huynh <ia...@hubspan.com>]

has any one successfully used mod_proxy_ftp ?

What i would like to do is to front my ftp server (taking advantage of mod_ssl)
with apache.

It looks like mod_proxy and mod_proxy_ftp could do the job but I can't seem to get it to work

i have apache on my machine with the following snippet in httpd.conf



Listen 21
Listen 20
<VirtualHost _default_:21 _default_:20>
    
   ProxyRemote ftp ftp://my.backend.server
   CustomLog logs/ftp.log common
</VirtualHost>

when i try to connect to apache using ftp, it just says connect to ianh (ie. my machine)
but there's no prompt for user/password 

The ftp.log file is empty

Thanks

Apache does not provide an ftp server.  Apache will act as a proxy to an
ftp backend, but it speaks only http with the client.

(There is a commercial ftp server apache module from covalent, I believe.)
