Learn how to use the Option ProxyFTP config.txt directive to support the retrieval of FTP files.

Option ProxyFTP specifies that FTP URLs to anonymous FTP servers should be rewritten as HTTP URLs that can then be retrieved through EZproxy. This option only supports the retrieval of specific FTP files. It does not support directory listings or the ability to store files using FTP.

Option NoProxyFTP is the default behavior and specifies that FTP URLs should be left untouched by EZproxy.

Option ProxyFTP is a repeatable position-dependent config.txt directive that interacts with database stanzas, following the stanzas until overridden.
