When we read the Tor FAQs related to anonymity of ftp tranfers there are
several questions that come to mind:
1)Is the most recent Filezilla really secure/tested so we can trust the
anonymity it provides through Tor?(something close to
Firefox/Privoxy/Torbutton?)
2)Using Firefox 3.6.12 and FireFTP 1.0.9(most recent versions) downloading from
Adobe(Flash Player,Adobe Reader,for example) I receive a warning that an
external application is being launched -accept or reject-,is this app
FireFTP?Is this warning coming from Torbutton?Does FireFTP 1.0.9 still leak DNS
requests?
3)When it comes to ftp through Tor and reading the Tor FAQs it seems the better
solution is 3proxy,however this software is not integrated on the major
(any?)linux distributions and downloading directly it must be done from a
russian website.The guys behind 3proxy can be really trustworthy but I do not
feel specially comfortable using the software.
