Integrating WinGate with a FTP Server

You can run the proxy on a different port, eg 8021 or use the pipe method to pipe Non Proxy requests to the FTP server on the different port.

The best solution is to change the port on which the FTP server (not the WinGate FTP proxy) runs. Typically this would be changed to port 8021. Then with a small alteration to the proxy, you will have seamless access.

In the GateKeeper setup for the WinGate FTP proxy, select the Non-proxy request tab and select the option: Pipe to predetermined server.

In the Server field, enter the name/IP of the machine your FTP server is running on. This could be the same machine that WinGate is on, or another machine on your LAN or even somewhere else on the internet.

In the port field, enter the port on which the Web server now runs.

Now, when a proxy request in made, normal proxy operation takes place. But when a non-proxy request (ie someone is accessing your FTP server, the request is piped through to the FTP server specified.
