Module mod_proxy_ftp

Directives

ProxyFtpEscapeWildcards

Module: mod_proxy_ftp
Syntax: ProxyFtpEscapeWildcards on|off
Default: on
Context: server config, virtual host, directory
Override: none
Origin: Apache
Usage Considerations: A LoadModule is required in the configuration file prior to using the directive. The statement should be as follows:
LoadModule proxy_connect_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_http_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
Example: ProxyFtpEscapeWildcards off

The ProxyFtpEscapeWildcards directive controls whether wildcard characters ("*?[{~") in requested filenames are escaped with backslash before sending them to the FTP server. That is the default behavior, but many FTP servers don't know about the escaping and try to serve the literal filenames they were sent, including the backslashes in the names.

Set to "off" to allow downloading files with wildcards in their names from FTP servers that don't understand wildcard escaping.

ProxyFtpListOnWildcard

Module: mod_proxy_ftp
Syntax: ProxyFtpEscapeWildcards on|off
Default: on
Context: server config, virtual host, directory
Override: none
Origin: Apache
Usage Considerations: A LoadModule is required in the configuration file prior to using the directive. The statement should be as follows:
LoadModule proxy_connect_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_http_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
LoadModule proxy_module /QSYS.LIB/QHTTPSVR.LIB/QZSRCORE.SRVPGM
Example: ProxyFtpEscapeWildcards off

The ProxyFtpListOnWildcard directive controls whether wildcard characters ("*?[{~") in requested filenames cause mod_proxy_ftp to return a listing of files instead of downloading a file. By default (value on), they do. Set to "off" to allow downloading files even if they have wildcard characters in their names.
