Hi, the (command line) ftp client which comes with openSUSE 10.3 seems to not honor the ftp_proxy settings: % env | grep ftp_proxy ftp_proxy=http://my.ftp.proxy:1234/ % ftp ftp> set anonpass mylogin@ ftp_proxy http://my.ftp.proxy:1234/ http_proxy http://my.ftp.proxy:1234/ no_proxy localhost, 127.0.0.1 pager less prompt ftp> rprompt ftp> open ftp.gwdg.de <no connection> A tcpdump shows 13:48:16.055718 IP my.host.58311 > ftp3.gwdg.de.ftp: S 1317814807:1317814807(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 608758765 0,nop,wscale 5> 13:48:19.050618 IP my.host.58311 > ftp3.gwdg.de.ftp: S 1317814807:1317814807(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 608759515 0,nop,wscale 5> 13:48:25.051660 IP my.host.58311 > ftp3.gwdg.de.ftp: S 1317814807:1317814807(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 608761015 0,nop,wscale 5> 13:48:37.052185 IP my.host.58311 > ftp3.gwdg.de.ftp: S 1317814807:1317814807(0) win 5840 <mss 1460,sackOK,timestamp 608764015 0,nop,wscale 5> (names have been mangled) So the ftp client attempts a direct connection rather than contacting the proxy. Does this sound familiar? Any ideas how to fix this? Kind regards Ingolf PS: The very same proxy settings work when using firefox (on the same machine), so it's not a problem with the proxy itself or with the FTP server. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
