Frox is an ftp proxy with the following features.
- written with security in mind, default setup runs as a non-root user in
a chroot jail.
- it supports caching of ftp downloads, either through a local cache, or
by redirecting connections through another proxy such as squid.
- downloads may be transparently scanned for viruses (through an external
scanner).
- controllable via scripts, there is an interface for writing scripts to
add features or modify frox's behavior, examples included.
transparent proxy support is not automatically setup by this package.
