A guess: You are using MSIE, and are frustrated because MSIE does not support authentication to FTP servers over HTTP but requires the password to be specified in the URL using the official ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/path.. syntax. ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ is an inofficial URL syntax. When Squid sees such URL it asks the browser to provide full user credentials via WWW authentication but unfortunately not all browsers know how to handle this, which is a little odd as they do know how to handle WWW authentication when requesting a http:// URL from the HTTP proxy and there technically is no difference in what the browser does... (both are just a HTTP request to the proxy, and displaying HTTP/HTML responses) Regards Henrik -- Donations welcome if you consider my Free Squid support helpful. https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=hno%40squid-cache.org If you need commercial Squid support or cost effective Squid or firewall appliances please refer to MARA Systems AB, Sweden http://www.marasystems.com/, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
