Manage FTP connections

This applies to forward proxy configurations only.

Caching Proxy proxies requests for FTP URLs to the appropriate FTP server, but it cannot be used to proxy requests from an FTP client. It can support only those FTP requests received from an HTTP client (using the ftp:// protocol scheme).

Only the GET, PUT, and DELETE methods are supported for requests for FTP files. Only the GET method is supported for requests for FTP directory listings. By default, PUT and DELETE are disabled in Caching Proxy. For more information, refer to Enable HTTP/FTP methods.

This topic describes how to protect FTP files and manage FTP server login, directory paths, and chaining.
