Refusing to Proxy FTP

Problem

You want to make sure that FTP (or, perhaps, other protocols) are not proxied through your server.

Solution

Make sure that mod_proxy_ftp isn’t loaded:

# LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so

Discussion

mod_proxy has several helper modules that provide the protocol-specific proxying functionality. These modules are mod_proxy_http, for proxying HTTP requests; mod_proxy_ftp, for proxying FTP requests; and mod_proxy_connect, for support for the CONNECT HTTP method, used primarily for tunneling SSL requests through proxy servers.

If you want mod_proxy to never proxy FTP requests, you need merely to ensure that the LoadModule directive for mod_proxy_ftp is commented out, as shown above.
