Gateway

CompleteFTP (Enterprise MFT only) can act as a multiprotocol gateway for other servers. It can present any of its own protocols to a client, and translate them into a different protocol to talk to another server.

The multiprotocol gateway is an extremely powerful feature. A number of possible uses are described below. Gateway configuration is described here.

Gateway examples

1. Provide secure access to another non-secure FTP server located on the same machine or network. CompleteFTP provides a secure wrapper to the secure server. This means SFTP or FTPS clients can connect to CompleteFTP, which proxies the requests on to the non-secure server.
   
2. Add FTP or FTPS support to an existing SFTP server. This means FTP or FTPS clients can access the SFTP server without any other changes than setting up CompleteFTP to proxy the requests.
   
3. Add SFTP support to an existing FTP or FTPS server. This means SFTP clients can access the FTP or FTPS server without any other changes than setting up CompleteFTP to proxy the requests.
   
4. Add HTTP support to an existing FTP, FTPS or FTPS server. This means SFTP clients can access the FTP or FTPS server without any other changes than setting up CompleteFTP to proxy the requests.
