[luau] Secure FTP to RedHat 7.3 box?

[Brian Chee]

I've gotten proftpd up and running on my machine and have changed it so that
it will only listen to connections from the IP address and 127.0.0.1

You also need to put in  a config item so that it will be ok with
connections that start at one IP address and then suddenly change to
another....

Then the changing from 127.0.0.1 (the address you use on your client
machine) to real.address.of.server when the sshd unwraps the tunneled data.
