Reverse proxy server should be transparent to the client.
Just use an IP address of the proxy as FTP server Host name in WinSCP.
hi, If i am adding IP address of the proxy server in hostname field. Since the reverse proxy server is having only 80 and 443 ports opened, i cant select FTP as file protocol. – Monica – 2017-08-17T05:17:44.807
Then it does not look like the reverse proxy allows you to use the FTP protocol. – Martin Prikryl – 2017-08-17T05:34:58.277
I have made configuration in such a way that if i am accessing https://testdrive.cn/ftp where testdrive.cn is the reverse proxy host name and if i give /ftp in that url it will access the FTP server via reverse proxy and i am able to see the files which is available in FTP server..But i want to transfer files to that ftp server via reverse proxy server. so i thought of achieving it with winscp
– Monica – 2017-08-17T05:47:40.833First that information should be in your question from the very first moment! + That does not have anything to with with FTP anyway. There are no URLs in FTP. That's probably just an HTTP/HTML page rendered from FTP data. You cannot "connect" to that with FTP client. – Martin Prikryl – 2017-08-17T05:58:07.833
do you mean to say we cannot achieve it with reverse proxy. in Winscp i have given port as 443 and host name as reverse proxy server ip . since port 443 is given , file protocol changed automatically to webDav. Next i have clicked on advanced settings ->proxy and in the protocol type , i have selected http and proxy name as testdrive.cn with the port 80. but how do i mention testdrive.cn/ftp in the proxy name?somehow i need to tell winscp like it has to connect to ftp server via reverse proxy server. Is that possible? – Monica – 2017-08-17T06:14:25.307
Martin Please clarify me one more thing also.even if i am opening port 21 in reverse proxy server, Is it possible to achieve transfer files to ftp server with reverse proxy server using port 21?kindly confirm this. – Monica – 2017-08-17T06:37:39.783
No I mean you cannot connect using the reverse proxy with the given configuration (ports 80 and 443 only). It should work, if you open port 21 and all data connection ports. – Martin Prikryl – 2017-08-17T06:57:35.890
ok Thanks Martin.one last question to ask.. Lets say i am opening port 21 in reverse proxy server. lets have reverse proxy server as A and FTP Server as B. So after opening port 21 in server A.if i am connecting to server A(reverse proxy server) with port 21 will connect me to FTP server? and it will cause the file which i am transferring to go to FTP server? kindly confirm this alone. do i need to mention anything in advanced options ->proxy in winscp in order to achieve this. – Monica – 2017-08-17T07:07:02.723

Hi Thanks for your answers.. I am able to see only port 21 as data connection port. Apart from that , do we have any other data connection port? – Monica – 2017-08-17T08:06:37.237
21 is not data connection port. It's control connection port. What data connection ports your FTP server use, depends on its configuration. – Martin Prikryl – 2017-08-17T08:17:38.517
You are welcome. Though on Super User, we thank by accepting the answer.
