Hi I am using Mandrake 7.1 and ncftp-3.0.1-2mdk. When accessing external web sites we need to go through a firewall requiring authentication. I have set up the ~/.ncftp/firewall file and using ncftp works fine. However when using ncftpget it does not seem to use this file at all and fails with the following error message: [.ncftp]$ ncftpget ftp.wustl.edu /pub/README ftp.wustl.edu: unknown host. ncftpget: cannot open ftp.wustl.edu: unknown host. Below is the output from using ncftp command. [.ncftp]$ ncftp ftp.wustl.edu NcFTP 3.0.1 (March 27, 2000) by Mike Gleason ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Connecting to ftp.wustl.edu via 172.17.1.1... Proxy first requires authentication ccbux003.gov.bw FTP proxy (Version 4.1) ready. Logging in... Welcome to wuarchive.wustl.edu Guest login ok, access restrictions apply. Logged in to ftp.wustl.edu. ncftp / > I have read the man pages and searched the net, but no luck. Am I missing some config setting or does ncftpget not work through firewalls?
