Graphical FTP setup when using proxy server (OTish)

[gmil...@hotmail.com]

Hi,

This is probably slightly OT, but I am hoping that someone here can
help - or direct me to a more relevant ng.

I am going to ftp via a proxy server, this is working fine from a
command-line (under Windows 2000) but I don't seem to be able to get
the right settings for a gui-based ftp client. I get to the server as
follows from the command prompt:

C:\ ftp myftpproxy.localdomain.com
User:myn...@myftpserver.domain.com <my local network userid>
Password: <password for myftpserver>
Password: <my local network password>

I have tried to set this up in SmartFTP and CoreFTP Lite, but I'm never
getting authenticated to both servers. I am somewhat confused about
whether I should put myftpserver as the target server and go via proxy;
or whether my target should be myftpproxy (as I do at the command
line).

Can anyone suggest likely settings to get this to work?

Regards,
Graham

Have you tried using IE as your Ftp. If you type ftp:// in ie it will
act as an ftp browser just like windows explorer. you may have to do
file and then login.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately the target ftp server doesn't
allow directory viewing from a browser (ie it needs ls -l not just ls to
view contents) so I do need a "true" ftp client.

Well, I've sorted it. It looks like I was trying to overcomplicate
things by using the same username@server syntax that I used at the
command-line. That doesn't work, all I needed was to:

- put myftpserver.domain.com as the site address in the main screen

- put myname as the Login and <password for myftpserver> for the
password in the main screen

- in Tools/Settings define the proxy as being of type
USER User@Host FireId

- in the options of the proxy put myftpproxy.localdomain.com as the
host

- in the options of the proxy select "login to Proxy/Firewall" and put
<my local network userid> as the User and <my local network password>
as the password

That's it, not an @ sign to be seen anywhere. Pretty much as it says on
the tin, really.
