FTP through squid

[adityaj]

Hi

I connect to the Internet via a squid proxy. Now i need to upload a file on a ftp server outside my network. Any ftp clients where i can specify using my proxy? i tried exporting the ftp_proxy variable but the commandline ftp doesnt seem to work.

Any suggestions. Its kinda urgent.

Thanks

Aditya

Since squid is an HTTP proxy i don't think any other protocols can go through it. The only way you can do that is with a socks proxy.

I am facing same problem too through squid. HTTP traffic pass through squid but FTP traffic cant pass through it.

And can you tell me what is socks proxy.

What i found on google was.
Squid is only http proxy but dont supports ftp or telnet.
So what should i do if I want to pass ftp through squid. or there is any other software like squid to pass ftp?

I am using fireftp and my internal network computer's ftp request cant pass through my proxy server.
