Subject: Re: Access ftp-server through proxy



Hi, thanks for your answer :)

I saw the below part, but was not clear enough in my question:

- Internet browsers is able to use e.g. regular squid proxy to make ftp 
connections. That was what I was after. It isn't too many places a socks 
server is available (not that I know of anyway ;)

Is it possible to do something like the browsers, without socks?
