Question: Does BIG-IP LTM support FTPS? Answer: You might think to yourself "LTM can load balance any IP traffic, so sure!". But if you know FTPS, you know that, like FTP, things are a lot more co...

Hello Colin,

 

 

I am having some trouble getting your example for "Solution 2: Offloading SSL for FTPS" working, and was hoping you could help me ?

 

 

I am running an IIS FTP server, on Windows 2003 server. If I turn off the 2nd iRule, and connect to the 2nd virtual server (just FTP) it all works, however when I turn the iRule back on, and try to connect to the 1st virtual server (FTPS), I get as far as the "Response:234 AUTH TLS Successful", but then times out.

 

 

I am quite new to f5 and iRules, and couldn't understand the first iRule. In point 3) you say "(with y.y.y.y replaced with the actual internal IP address)", however I cannot see "y.y.y.y" anywhere in the first iRule. In my 1st iRule, I have replaced the line "VS2FTP" with the name of my 2nd Virtual server. Am I missing something ?

 

 

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Thanks,

 

 

Ben
