Hi Krist, Yes of course, my WinSCP client use passive FTP and apache listen on the control port (21) ! When the FTP server send back the port to connect to for DATA, the client attempts to open the connection using this dynamic port, but the apache proxy refused to forward the HTTP CONNECT to the FTP server and send back to the client a 403 Forbidden response. See the small attached dump file which illustrate the problem : 192.168.1.1 : the client 192.168.3.2 : apache proxy 10.194.124.173 : the FTP server It works fine with other FTP proxy like "squid" or "netcache", it should be possible to configure apache to do that also ? Thanks. -----Message d'origine----- De : Krist van Besien [mailto:krist.vanbesien@xxxxxxxxx] Envoyé : lundi 8 novembre 2010 13:01 À : users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet : Re: How to proxy FTP protocol with WinSCP client ?

For CONNECT to a dynamic port to work it would be necessary for apache to listen in on the FTPO control connection to know what port the client will attempt to use.
