RE: FTP proxying

Hi.

Squid only supports clients that can speak HTTP.. Such as a browser, normal
ftp clients do not support this. Generally there are options in the browsers
proxy settings to set up which proxy handles FTP requests. Try looking for
an FTP Proxy.

Subject: FTP proxying

        I think that I'm not fully understanding the way things work, but I
have a
test firewall set up where IPchains redirects port 80 to squid to allow
transparent proxying for web requests which works fine. I can also set up
web browsers to use firewall.domain.com 3128 for ftp proxying and that also
works fine.

        However I want to be able to support ftp clients and I seem to be
running
into a lot of difficulty. Does squid support user@site or other kinds of
proxying or will I need to set up a seperate proxy to cover the ftpclient
side of things?

Thanks
