[lug] Making an HTTPS tunnel to an FTP server

[Glenn Murray]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone on this list had any experience with this
problem.  I have a ProFTPD server running on port 21 behind a
firewall.  I'm like to create an HTTPS tunnel through the firewall to
ProFTPD so that users outside the firewall can connect to ProFTPD
using the same ProFTPD credentials as inside the firewall.  I
understand that another set of credentials is necessary to set up the
tunnel.  The odd thing here is that (at this point) it has to be
HTTPS, and not FTPS, SFTP, etc.

Thanks,
Glenn
