Hello everyone,

I am configuring a squid in the following environment:

Browser --> SQUID --> AV-filter proxy HTTP/FTP --> application level 
Firewall

I know that SQUID is not an FTP proxy, but it intercepts/interprets FTP 
over HTTP which is used in this environment.

My problem is, that the AV-filter is not doing FTP over HTTP but native 
FTP proxying.

I use the parent directive for the HTTP but I can not find any 
information how to get Squid to use native FTP with the AV-filter.

As far as I understood, Squid will only speak FTP over HTTP but never 
native FTP with any parent or sibling proxy. Squid will only speak 
native FTP when he is contacting the final FTP server.
Do I miss something? Am I right?

This means, that the only way to realize the communication would be to 
create an always_direct rule for the ftp and NAT it to the FTP-proxy. 
But this will only work if the FTP-proxy can act as transparent 
proxy.... 

Has someone a better idea or a hint how to realize this setup?

Thanks in advance
Pierre
