wget (ftp and/or wildcard) proxy problems.

Hi, I have a running proxy on SUSE 9.3, which can be accessed from various 9.x clients. Everything seems to work well, except, when I try to load something with wget, which is a ftp-link, I used to get "error 404". I also attempted to turn off generally the usage of the ftp-proxy via YAST's proxy-setup, but then I got something "http doesnt support *", when I tried to load e.g. ftp://ftp.server.net/pub/*. Would be glad to hear any ideas:) Thank you, Pelibali
