If security is one of your concerns, perhaps you might consider trying SecureShell or OpenSecureShell. These tools would allow you to transfer files securely. OpenSSH is available at www.openssh.com. If you were to set this up you could then close ftp traffic. Good luck. David On Tue, 15 Aug 2000, De Loe, Maurits wrote:

At one of the projects I'm working on I have the following configuration problem.
I have a NT-box connected with a linux-box which server as a http-proxy. I'm running squid, SuSE64 and SuSE firewall. I'm using dreamweaver (web-dev program) on NT to create web-sites.
The problem I have is that I can't get my ftp-forwarding to work. If I use ftp through the browser it works but if I try to use ftp directly it doesn't, not from the NT-machine or from an other linux-box hooked up to my server.
It is probably "just" a squid problem but I'm not very familiar with squid and need to get this to work. I'm aware that allowing ftp-forwarding is a potential security risk but there is no other way to do this...I think.
Please help me out with this.
Cheers,
Maurits de Lo� linux-administrator Z�rich Switzerland
ps: If someone has a better way of getting this setup to work I'm also VERY interested.
