FTP Reverse Proxy
In FTP reverse proxy mode, Traffic Server receives FTP requests from FTP clients on behalf of an FTP server
(the FTP server’s hostname resolves to Traffic Server’s IP address).
Figure 5-2. illustrates how an FTP request from an FTP client is processed by Traffic Server running in FTP
reverse proxy mode.

proxy.config.url_remap.pristine_host_hdr Set this variable to 1 to retain the client host header in

FTP server
An FTP client sends a request to an FTP Server via an FTP connection.
Because the FTP server's hostname resolves to Traffic Server's IP address,
Traffic Server receives the FTP request.
If the request is a cache miss or is stale, Traffic Server communicates with the
FTP Server via FTP and obtains the requested document. Traffic Server then
sends the document to the FTP client via an FTP connection and saves a copy
in its cache.
