<p>This module <em>requires</em> the service of <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code>. It provides support for the proxying
FTP sites. Note that FTP support is currently limited to
the GET method.</p>
<p>Thus, in order to get the ability of handling FTP proxy requests,
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a></code> and <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_ftp.html">mod_proxy_ftp</a></code>
have to be present in the server.</p>
<div class="warning"><h3>Warning</h3>
<p>Do not enable proxying until you have <a href="mod_proxy.html#access">secured your server</a>. Open proxy
servers are dangerous both to your network and to the Internet at
<p>The password which is transmitted in such a way is not encrypted on
its way. It travels between your browser and the Apache proxy server in
a base64-encoded cleartext string, and between the Apache proxy and the
FTP server as plaintext. You should therefore think twice before
accessing your FTP server via HTTP (or before accessing your personal
files via FTP at all!) When using unsecure channels, an eavesdropper
might intercept your password on its way.</p>
