NAME
       ftpgw.tcl --- an FTP gateway script to allow tunnelling

SYNOPSIS
           ftpgw.tcl [-p <port-range>] [-v] [listen-port [ftpd-host [ftpd-
           port]]]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is a simple FTP gateway that intercepts PORT commands and
       passive-mode responses so that it can set up handlers for the data
       streams associated with them. It then rewites these control lines so
       that traffic to an FTP server apparently comes from the gateway
       process.  Similarly a client sees a remote port that it can access for
       passive mode transfers. This allows the FTP control (but not data)
       channel to be tunnelled and encrypted.

       By default the program listens on port 2121 and will redirect traffic
       to a local FTP server on port 21. These values can be overridden on the
       command line. The -v option turns on verbose logging to stderr.

       If the -p option is specified then the argument is a range of port
       numbers in the form xxx-yyy. All passive-mode data ports will be in the
       range xxx to yyy and the response lines will be re-written to redirect
       a client to the corresponding port on 127.0.0.1 (localhost).  This
       means that passive-mode data connections can be tunnelled in addition
       to the control connection.

       For examples of how to use this program see the documentation for
       Zebedee.
