The CCC FTP command was added to the FTPS Draft (there's a copy of the
Draft in the proftpd source distribution, under the doc/rfc/ directory)
for just this situation.
ProFTPD 1.3.0rc1 has support for the CCC command. From the RELEASE_NOTES
file for 1.3.0rc1:
mod_tls
The mod_tls module now supports the CCC FTP command, which can
be used by FTPS clients to secure data transfers with FTPS
servers in a firewalled environment.
Hope this helps,
TJ
