    FTP over HTTP: How to redirect FTP requests to real

    server over HTTP Tunnel


    The following article is a how-to on creating a FTP tunnel over a HTTP tunnel. In this
    example we setup a tunnel for example.com FTP server, but of course you can set the
    attributes you need. Note that the "FTP over HTTP tunnel" feature works only in passive
    mode for transfers.

    1. Start the TunnelEx


    Control Center and
    select the "File / New /
    Rule..." main menu
    item.

    2. The new rule dialog will be


    opened. Enter a rule name if
    necessary (optional). Choose
    "FTP" and click "Next"
    button.
    3. At second step set the
    following settings for the
    tunnel Input:

     Adapter: All available


     Port: network port

    You can choose any port (for


    FTP commonly used port 21)
    and another adapter if you
    need. But do not forget about
    it when you will be using this
    tunnel - as it will change the
    tunnel entrance as well.

    Set the following settings for


    the FTP server:

     Host: host name or IP


    address
     Port: network port

    The host and the port should


    be actual addresses of a FTP
    server that you want to create
    a tunnel for.

    4. Set the "Use HTTP proxy


    server" checkbox. You can
    change proxy server settings at
    any time by clicking the
    "Settings" button. First time
    the settings dialog will be
    opened automatically.
    5. Enter the host and the port
    of a proxy server. If you do
    not know which server to use,
    try the Pathfinder feature - it
    automatically chooses a proxy
    server for you.

    6. Set "User authorization"


    check box and enter the user
    name and the password if a
    proxy server requires
    authorization.

    Click "OK" to apply. The


    proxy server setting dialog
    will be closed, click on the
    rule dialog "Finish" to create
    new rule.

    7. The rule has been started.

    8. To ensure the rule has


    started successfully, you can
    use the event log. Select the
    "Service / Show/Hide Log..."
    main menu item to open it.
    9. Find the input endpoint in
    the event list to see its
    operation status.

    Now you are ready to test it. Configure your FTP client application to work in passive mode
    and connect with the local network interface (ex. "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" if you used "All
    available" or "Loopback" for the adapter field at the step 3) and use the port which you
    entered to the port field at the step 3. A new FTP tunnel will be created.
