RE: [squid-users] Problem with FTP upload through squid : truncat ed files

This does seem to be a function of the interaction between Squid, Mozilla
and the ftp service. If I use ftp://username@site.domain without proxy I am
prompted for a password, and can log in. If I try the same with proxy
(either Squid2.5Stable7 -> Squid2.5Stable4 -> Squid2.5Stable3 (local proxy,
cache parent, cache parent) or just the Squid2.5Stable7 proxy), I don't get
prompted for a password, and see the error:

----------
An FTP authentication failure occurred while trying to retrieve the URL:
ftp://username@site.domain/

Squid sent the following FTP command:

PASS <yourpassword>

and then received this reply

Login incorrect.
----------

Cest la vie,

Chris

I already tried this, but mozilla doesn't ask me for a password,
instead I get an error page :
"ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved
The FTP server was too busy while trying to retrieve the URL:
ftp://myuser@ftpperso.free.fr/

Squid sent the following FTP command:

USER myuser

and then received this reply

Service not available, closing control connection."

(I replaced the real user by "myuser" in the error message)
But if I put my password after the user name, it works

Thanks anyway
