Topic: FTP upload through authenicating squid

[Wayne Tarr]

Hi there

If this has been answed before I apologise, have searched the forums for this and have not found anything. Could be using wrong terms..anyway.

My problem is that I have added authentication to the squid proxy running on 5.6U4 and now a windoze client can't access our ftp site to upload the webpages. They are using Dreamweaver which does have problems, so I need to use a ftp client. The issue at the moment is that the client wants to know the type of proxy, ie USER, SITE, or SOCKS4. Does anyone know what format is needed to get through the squid?

This all works fine on my linux box with wget or gFTP... another one for the side!

Thanks in advance
Wayne

I'm leaning towards user

I think you want USER@HOST + Login

You just want the one that will allow you to enter a Username/Password/Proxy Host.

Username/Pass would be username/pass of that user.
Proxy host would be the IP Address of your SME box.

Thanks for the quick answer Nathan.

I'll keep it in mind when looking, but in the meantime I just created a acl rule to bypass the authentication for the dst and src, which solved the problem.

thanks anyway
