the (command line) ftp client which comes with openSUSE 10.3 seems to not honor the ftp_proxy settings:
-snip-
So the ftp client attempts a direct connection rather than contacting the proxy. Does this sound familiar? Any ideas how to fix this?
The FTP proxy as configured is for web browsers - it works by a HTTP(proxy) connection being initiated to the proxy server, and that proxy then goes and does all the FTP stuff, delivering you a page rendered in HTML as the result. The FTP CLI client actually does all the FTP guff - it doesn't interpret the output (of ls, etc) in any way - just sends it on - so if it spoke to a (HTTP) proxy, it'd have to interpret the HTML it got back, or have some sort of a rendering engine, and it would no longer be the nice simple client it is today, etc, etc. Hope this makes some sort of sense...
