- Transparent Caching ftp proxy server - frox

Frox is a transparent FTP proxy that runs under Linux and *BSD. It should also work on other UNIX OSes that use ipfilter.

Frox Features:
 * active - passive mode conversion for data connections.
 * It supports caching of FTP downloads, either through a local cache, or by redirecting connections through another proxy such as squid.
 * Downloads may be transparently scanned for viruses (through an external scanner).
 * Optional non-transparent proxy support by logging in with user@host:port.
 * Options to bind to a specific interface, chroot, and drop priveleges for security.
 * Written with security in mind, default setup runs as a non-root user in a chroot jail.
