Hi,
I'm trying to enable apps such as ftp and yafc to use our Squid proxy for outgoing FTP connections, but my environment variable doesn't seem to work...

...and just sits there. Shouldn't the connection be made to squid.sento.com:8080?
Trying to run 'ftp ftp.gnu.org' from shell ends up doing the same thing. What am I doing wrong? I know our proxy listens on 8080 and supports FTP.
TIA,
I have never used squid, so this may not work, but the standard for variables is captial letters. try: export FTP_PROXY="squid.sento.com:8080"
