Control proxy support

FTP Server OS: Linux

FTP Server Type: GLFTPD

Client Computer OS: Windows

FluentFTP Version: 52.0.0.0

Framework: .NET 4.8

After researching this a bit it seems this may not be possible if the proxy code contributor isn't around but I thought I'd mention this anyway.
When setting up a client using a proxy such as FtpClientSocks5Proxy it would be nice to flag it as a control proxy as you can do with clients such as FTPRush or the old FlashFXP (usually by prefixing the host with a @).
A control proxy simply means it only uses the proxy for the authentication, data connections are handled directly - if the ftpd allows for it.

I see.

Shouldn't be all that difficult, I suppose. The problem, for me at least, is that I have no such proxy (or any normal ones) to test against.

But this is noted as a TODO item.

It's just a normal socks proxy.
If you have a server somewhere you can actually create a socks5 proxy with ssh via:
ssh -D 1234 [email protected]

Then you use 1234 as the proxy and it will tunnel through ssh basically doing the same thing.
