Hi,

 

In first HTTP protocol version, the hostname was not included in the request. it is mandatory only from version HTTP/1.1.

 

I think this is the same with FTP. with most of TCP protocols, requested hostname is not sent from client to server as it is used only to get the IP address from hostname.

 

Look at FTP RFC if hostname is sent in the request (I looked quickly and I didn't find this).

 

if the hostname is not sent, there is no solution.
