This option may be useful for SSH tunnelling applications. This option applies when the client's FTP session is originated from the loopback interface (example: IP address of 127.0.0.1), but the data connection is attempted to some other address other than the loopback. Normally, NcFTPd considers that scenario as a proxy connection, which is regulated by other options, but this option is available if you want to special-case this situation and leave other proxy protections intact.

Please do not ask for help about any such use of SSH, as we do not support it.

Examples:

allow-proxy-when-control-originates-from-loopback=no
allow-proxy-when-control-originates-from-loopback=yes

Recommendation:

allow-proxy-when-control-originates-from-loopback=no
