Hi,
If anyone has any experience of configuring ftp proxies on the Mac I would
be grateful for their input.
We are using a Squid proxy server.
We have 2 ftp proxy options, neither of which seem to work on the Mac but
which work fine on a PC.
If I add the ftp proxy in System Preferences it will not allow me to
download printer drivers from the HP ftp website (you access the link
through http://www.hp.com, drivers etc.).
It doesn't make any difference if I add my username and password for the ftp
proxy in System Preferences.
If I try to download a file from a pc, my username and password are recorded
on the Squid server. If I try to download the same file from a Mac it fails
and the Squid server says 'None' i.e. It doesn't have my username and
password.
Passive FTP is ticked in System Preferences.
If I use Fetch, I have to set the following preferences:
Under the Proxy tab,
Set the Proxy type as; USER after logon
Insert the Proxy details and
Then enter your proxy username and password underneath.
Close the window.
Quit and restart Fetch.
If I do that it works.
If I don't enter my proxy username and password it won't work.
Hopefully someone can put us in the right direction.
TIA,
Tom.
