ftp proxy
t...@bestcad.com.sg
is there a way to configure ftp client like ws_ftp or cuteftp to use
proxy? from my site, i am able to use a netscape browser with manual
proxy configuration to access ftp server, but not so with ws_ftp or
cuteftp.

: Get a recent version of cuteftp (1.4 has proxy support)
It don't seem to work, I went to Menu FTP|setting|option and tried all the different firewall types like site, open proxy, user without login, passive transfer, etc, and none worked.
I downloaded the newer version of ws_ftp but it didn't work through proxy either.
does the normal ftp client on unix support ftp proxy?
if so, how to set?
if not, any other client does?

You could try pftp (proxy ftp). I can't remember where I got it, but I've
still got the tar file hanging around. If you want it, let me know and I'll
make it available to you. I don't use it myself (the display is a bit
screwy), but I guess it works.
Regards,
Andrew

No. WS_FTP can use firewall proxy techniques designed for proxying FTP,
but what this person is using with Netscape is HTTP proxying, which
most FTP clients won't speak. What Netscape is doing is connecting
to the firewall/proxy and saying "GET FTP://ftp.bla.com/", and the
proxy's web server knows how to FTP. So the commands are all being
sent to the proxy server using the HTTP protocol.
Anyone know of an FTP client that talks HTTP?

In my case I'm using CuteFtp 1.8.
At Menu: FTP->Settings->Options->Firewall, choose your proxy Host and
proxy port (default 21). Enable Firewall access and choose proxy type
(in my case USER user@site).
