<P>The following section describes the fundamental configuration
of the FTP-Proxy. It assumes, that you have successfully
compiled and installed the FTP-Proxy.</P>
<P>The proxy uses a configuration file <EM>ftp-proxy.conf</EM>
you have to edit before the proxy can be used - it is needed
to configure at least the variables described in this section.
For a complete list of valid configuration options consult
the <EM>ftp-proxy.conf(5)</EM> manual page and the sample
configuration file <EM>ftp-proxy.conf.sample</EM> file
which comes with the distribution.</P>
<P>First, you have to choose, if you wand to start the proxy
as a stand-alone daemon or via "(x)inetd" super daemon using
the <CODE>ServerType</CODE> configuration option (or the start
arguments). If nothing specified, "inetd" mode is assumed.
See also section
<A HREF="ftp-proxy-4.html#security">Local System Security</A>.
In stand-alone daemon mode, the proxy defaults to listen on the
FTP port 21 and all interfaces. You can override this using the
<CODE>Port</CODE> and <CODE>Listen</CODE> configuration options.</P>
<P>The next step you have to do, is to choose, if the Proxy should
run in "inbound" or in "outbound" mode. See the section
<A HREF="ftp-proxy-5.html#traffic">Inbound and Outbound FTP Traffic</A>.</P>
<P>Now, the proxy should be able to run and serve the client requests.
The proxy follows the FTP transfer mode the client has choosed.</P>
<P>You can override this behaviour setting the option
<CODE>DestinationTransferMode</CODE> to either <EM>active</EM> or
<EM>passive</EM> instead of the default <EM>client</EM>, and
the proxy will be forced to use the specified FTP transfer mode
for all transfers it does between the proxy and the ftp server.
Most common usage is to force the proxy to use <EM>passive</EM>
transfers only.</P>
