PROJECT DESCRIPTION: -
Java FTP proxy is a mutation from the java world hearts web server. They share many similarities for the fact that they use many common classes. Only the message handler and the user interface are changed.
The server takes the request from the browser and forwards the request to the remote web server specified in the HTTP header and then sends the response from that server back to the browser.
It displays the header part of both the requests and the responses on its two windows, and can be used as a debugging tool for monitoring the HTTP traffic.
This project will help you if you are behind a firewall and do not have FTP access to the Internet, but you have access to machine that has. It will then work as proxy server and in that way let you connect to FTP servers outside the firewall. It is also possible to do it the other way around, i.e. gain FTP access from the Internet to beyond the firewall (make sure these wonts constitute a security hazard).
