FTP Applet not using server ip

[lildunn34]

Im trying to set up a web app http://sftp.thinfile.com/sftp/ to use on my windows server. The applet works great but when i connect to a server its using the clients ip instead of the server ip where they applet is running. The server has firwall permissions that some clients will not have so i need the applet to use the servers ip to initiate the connection.

Is their anyway to change the applet to use the servers ip as a source?

The applet code executes on the client side. That's why it's using the client's IP. You'll need to use the server as a proxy somehow; Either at the network layer or at the application layer through a servlet or webservice.

There may be a more simple approach that I'm missing but I'm too hot to think :p.

Thanks...I have a simular php script that executes on the server side but i wonder if this is even possible with java.
