Re: [squid-users] FTP through MS IE

Works here...

Can you add

debug_options ALL,1 9,9

to squid.conf, and then send me the output in cache.log when trying to
access the failing server?

It might be a problem in the interaction between Squid, your firewall,
and the FTP server. Do your firewall support passive FTP?

Henrik
