protection of ftp traffic to internal ftp server ?

Situation:
LAN with one FTP server that has to be accessible from outside the LAN
Gateway: ASG120 with configured http-proxy

I can read a lot about protected http-/ftp-Traffic if you are in the LAN and have to access http and ftp-sites outside.

Now I have a situation where a ftp server in the LAN is accessible from outside and the question is: "Is the traffic when someone from outside transfers a file via ftp to the ftp server in the LAN protected via http-Proxy virus scan ?

The license includes WebSecurity.

I configured:
a policy routing in Network >> Routing
a NAT rule (source and destination NAT)
>> possibly now easier with generic proxy, but runs anyway
http proxy: standard mode with profile for "any".

Who can tell whether ftp transfer from outside is virus protected via the astaro ?

Cheers
Christo

Doubtful, but the IPS stuff will still work.

No, except if you allow the proxy to be reached from ANY. And that is not a very good idea.

A open Proxy is like a lighthouse for the spammers. Had a HoneyPot running with a open Proxy. Without the Honywall limiting the traffic, they would have generated 30 GB traffic per day, just sending SPAM via HTTP.

Answer from Astaro Support: NO.

But the idea to allow specific traffic to the http proxy from the external partners who send files via ftp could be a way....

....to be tested....
