ftp reverse proxy using haproxy

Question

is it possible to have ftp reverse proxy like http

example

 client >> proxy >> real server 

i have tried using haproxy

but at the end the real ip of the ftp server is exposed not like http reverse proxy

i am using this with haproxy

listen FTP :21, :10000-10250 mode tcp server ftp01 realserverip:21 check port 21 

Answer 1

No, this is not possible. Haproxy does not understand the FTP protocol, and therefore can't do things like re-write the FTP commands and responses that include the true IP address of the FTP server.

If that's a requirement, then you'll have to find a different proxy solution.
