Hello Dennis Bush, Im having some problems about trying to configure an infraestructure formed in differents networks with the host_listfile in the server and the proxies.
Could you please explain how can i set up these files for a correct transfer funcionality???
Im sry if u think this ask is a bit newbie, but im an student and i need this information for my work.
Many thanks !!

The documentation details the format of the hostlist file and how to use it. If you're following that and still have a problem, please detail your network setup, what you've tried, and the output you're getting.

First of all thanks for your answer Dennis.
Right now i have 9 virtual machine running debian.
The environment is the next.
1 uftp server
2 Proxy Server
2 Proxy Client
And 4 client
2 client are for up network
The another 2 clients are in the down network.
Im following the format you included in your instructions.
But the problem i got is i dont know exactly how must i handle the client or proxy lists,
My problem is that I do not know where I have to place each file with the ip's of the end users to discriminate from the uftp server.
Or if I'm really wrong and I'm not fully understanding how the service works.
It would be of great help on your part if you could explain a little above in which equipment I should place each file so that from the server can discriminate towards which equipment the package should arrive, or if the discrimination is done on the proxies side.
I attach a visio schema with my configuration currently, only need to add 1 client computer in the network above on the right and another client computer in the network on the bottom right.
a greeting
Thank you very much for your help.
I'm sorry if you think I'm a little newbie, but I'm just studying and I need some info about this.
On the server side, you'll need to specify both a host list with -H @hostlist_file and a proxy list with -j proxylist_file.
The hostlist file should contain the IDs of all clients in the group, while the proxylist file should contain the IDs of all client proxy that will respond. For both the client and the proxy, the ID can be specified with the -U option. If -U is not given, the ID is based on the IP address of the first interface.
On the client proxy, you can use the -C option to specify a client list. This file looks the same as the server's hostlist file. This file should contain the IDs of the clients that the given proxy expects to hear from. So if for example proxy 1 is local to client 1 and client 2, and proxy 2 is local to client 3 and client 4, the client list for proxy 1 should list client 1 and client 2, while the client list for proxy 2 should contain client 3 and client 4.
Give that a try and see how it works.

Hello , good morning from Spain and thanks for answering so fast! :P
Im trying turn on this environment.
In UFTP server i made a Client_list with all client in all networks (Client 1 ,2 , 3 ,4) and a proxy_list with all client_proxy ID's ( Proxy_client1 and proxy_client2)
Now in the proxy client im adding a client_list, in the ProxyClient1 im adding client 1 and client 2
and in the proxy client2 im adding client 3 and client 4 ID.
My question is , do i need to add any client or proxy_file in the proxy server 1 and proxy server 2??
Very thanks for help and regards :P

Are you able to get a session working without using host lists? If not, do that first then work on the host list.
Also, make sure you can get a simple session working with the server and client local to each other and no proxies, then try again with proxies.
Hello again and thanks for answering.
I already had a session working without host lists .
I'm able to transfer files through server and client alone and then with server proxy and proxyclient too
Now I added below network and I want to start discriminating and get files to specify clients and here is the problem.
Could you please explain mea little more about this usage.
Many thanks
On the server side, you'll need to specify both a host list with -H @hostlist_file and a proxy list with -j proxylist_file.
The hostlist file should contain the IDs of all clients in the group, while the proxylist file should contain the IDs of all client proxy that will respond. For both the client and the proxy, the ID can be specified with the -U option. If -U is not given, the ID is based on the IP address of the first interface.
On the client proxy, you can use the -C option to specify a client list. This file looks the same as the server's hostlist file. This file should contain the IDs of the clients that the given proxy expects to hear from. So if for example proxy 1 is local to client 1 and client 2, and proxy 2 is local to client 3 and client 4, the client list for proxy 1 should list client 1 and client 2, while the client list for proxy 2 should contain client 3 and client 4.

and in the proxy client2 im adding client 3 and client 4 ID.
My question is , do i need to add any client or proxy_file in the proxy server 1 and proxy server 2??
Very thanks for help and regards :P
The client list applies only to client proxies, not server proxies.
