FTP proxy

(also File Transfer Protocol proxy)

FTP proxy definition

The FTP proxy is a server or software component that allows sending files over the internet safely. Usually, it’s used for communication and file transfers between a computer and a server. However, you can also use it for other devices, not just computers.

The FTP proxy uses the File Transfer Protocol to send files safely. It allows you to set functions to protect your network or system from cyber attacks. Also, you can use an FTP proxy to set guidelines and determine what kind of files users can download and upload on your networks or systems.
