I have had limited success with ftp using sockscap V2. Some servers will accept the data connection and some won't. I think it depends on which software the server is running. I am not knowledgeable enough to know why this is. It seems to always be at a certain ftp command that is gets hung up.

I am very interested in this. While not a tech guru, I would be happy to assist (if I get any spare time). My own TOR node on my colo'ed web server (200KB/sec baby - now THAT is a contribution to the project) certainly doesn't do anything like this - I was dumb enough to just install, configure &
