in thread HTTP to FTP proxy

From the mod_proxy docs. I interpret this to mean no uploads, although it isn't quite clear.

How can I do FTP upload?

Currently, only GET is supported for FTP in mod_proxy. You can of course use HTTP upload (POST or PUT) through an Apache proxy.

    It seems you are right, PUT is not supported.

    Maybe you could use the CONNECT method instead and let the client talk directly to the FTP server.

    Something as drawn in the following diagram:
