HOWTO for nftp nftp allows plain old FTP to be used redirected through a NOPEN connection. Connect to a remote NOPEN server you want to redirect ftp through. Run this command there: -tunnel 12121 udp Then, in a local window: nftp -r NOPEN-SERVER-IP TARGETIP where NOPEN-SERVER-IP is the IP on the NOPEN server that will be conversing with the remote FTP server; and TARGETIP is the ACTUAL IP of the FTP server. Don't worry, in NOPEN redirect mode (with -r), nftp will not contact TARGETIP directly. NOTE: Once nftp exits, the "-tunnel" on the NOPEN server will exit. nftp is a complete ftp client. See "man nftp.1" for complete client details.
