Hamachi and FTP/HTTP

1k views Asked by At

I'm trying to connect to an FTP server over HTTP. Is there any way I can use a VPN like Hamachi and tunnel through my home PC, then connect tothe FTP via HTTP or another port?

The main problem with FTP over HTTP is not port mapping, but being able to translate HTTP commands to FTP. Something like mod_proxy_ftp should help. Note that FTP over HTTP proxies tend to support only fetching of files and listing of directories, i.e. they convert a directory URL to a LIST commands, and a file URL to a RETR command.

I realize I might not have answered your exact question, so apologies if there is a strong reason why you need to use VPN and not a proxy. Still I can't see how a VPN would do the protocol conversion.
