Hi Monah,
Try turning on Passive mode in the settings of your browser. That
should solve the problem.
There are two ways in which an FTP connection can be initiated. 1- the
port to use can be sent by the client 2- the client request the server
to send the port to connect on. Since you are behind a firewall,
method one would not work. You are thus forcing it to use method 2 by
turning passive mode on.
Hope this helps,
Navin J

Hi all,
I am testing the following scenario
client --- IWSS (Redhat 4 ES) --- Squid (FreeBSD 6.3) --- Firewall
(OpenBSD) --- Internet
IWSS has the squid as its upstream proxy, and everything works like a
charm except FTP
When I try to access thru the browser a ftp site, I get the following
error:
An FTP protocol error occurred while trying to retrieve the URL:
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
Squid sent the following FTP command:
NLST
and then received this reply
Use PORT or PASV first.
Your cache administrator is webmaster.
I have another test scenario using the same hardware as above
client --- Squid (FreeBSD 6.3 running dansguardian) --- Firewall
(OpenBSD) --- Internet
I have no problem with FTP using this scenario.
Thank you
