FTP Host Header
Hello everybody,
yes I know that the FTP protocol, specified by RFC 959, does not support the host header.
But the Microsoft FTP-Server 7.0 and greater support this.
Here the source
Now my Question:
What is with the FileZilla Client. Does it support host headers?
If not, when will this be possible.
With kind regards,
Jack99

Re: FTP Host Header
Not supported. And unless there will be a standard defined by the IETF, there's an almost zero chance for this to be implemented.
No support requests over PM! You will NOT get any reply!!!

Re: FTP Host Header
All right, thank you for the answer!
Re: FTP Host Header
Just get IPv6 and you won't need HOST anymore. HOST is just trying to treat the symptoms instead of curing the underlying disease of not having a distinct IP address for every hostname.
Re: FTP Host Header
We have enough IP adresses, but I don´t want to make thousend of port forwardings in the Firewall... That sucks!
So it will be easier with Host Headers and Microsoft is doing it right

Re: FTP Host Header
botg referred to IPv6, where NAT will be basically history.

Re: FTP Host Header
Maynot be supported but if you are using IIS7 or 7.5 filezilla can authenticate still against an FTP site using host headers.
depending on how your IIS setup is configured you will need to use the following:
Assumes:
IIS7 (Not SSL FTP)
IP binding * (Default any All Unassigned)
FTP Address:ftp.joe.com
FTP hostheader set to ftp.joe.com
username bloggs
Password anon
If above is all set then Filezilla setup as follows
Host: ftp.joe.com
Username:ftp.joe.com|bloggs
Password: anon
You will now login in against your FTP site according to the Host Header set in IIS
You can also go on to make other FTP sites with alternate Host Headers for different sites setup
Unless im missing peeps points on here Filezilla DOE'S support Host headers on FTP sites

Re: FTP Host Header
How come?
Its working for me?

Re: FTP Host Header
Coincidence. Let's express it differently: FileZilla isn't aware of the existence of host headers.

Re: FTP Host Header
LOL, ok but thats now not saying its not supported, it can work which is what peeps been struggling to get done.
The "work around" is what I have posted above and then you can say filezilla can atleast deal with Hostheaders

Re: FTP Host Header
"Host headers" (a rather strange name) are implemented through the HOST command. FileZilla does not know that command and as such does not send that command.
In other words, FileZilla does neither know, nor use nor support that extension.

Re: FTP Host Header
So, RFC7151 has been published a few months ago. (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc7151.txt)
Any chance this might be implemented after all?

Re: FTP Host Header
I'm strongly opposed to this extension, it only adds an additional round-trip to the login sequence, slowing things further down
Due to IPv6 this feature is not needed.
Due to TLS' NSI it's not needed for FTP over TLS connections.
It's only something needed for legacy systems. And legacy systems won't even support HOST any time soon, else they wouldn't be legacy systems.
