How to FTP via VPN to sites with real adresses on different IP's ?

[Jason Robertson]

Hi,

I am using Windows 2003 Server. The VPN works fine, but I want to FTP
through the VPN so the connection is encrypted. The problem is each of my
IIS sites has a real Internet address specified, w.x.y.z. So when the VPN
comes up using a private IP, I can't connect to any of the FTP sites using
the VPN server's IP, 10.10.10.2. Could you give me specific directions how
to deal with this?

Thank you for your help.

If you want to go over the VPN with private IPs out to the public Internet,
you'll need to use a proxy server or NAT/PAT gateway -- i.e., you gotta get
things to route; nothing is special just because it's a VPN.

But, if the FTP server is on the VPN network, then my suggestion would be to
just have the FTP service listen on the VPN interface as well.

I answered this post on the dotnet.general newsgroup.

Please, if you are going to post your question to more than one newsgroup,
do them all at once. That way, I can answer once and every group will see
the answer.
