ncftp -u anonymous some.server worked. Thank you very much for your help. As to the NTLM authentication. Squid provides a couple of utilities, (wb_auth and wb_group), that provide an interface to NT doamin authentication. At one time I had written a script using wb_group, but I can't seem to find it. When I do, I'll send you a copy.

I have absolutely no clue how ncftp works. But google-ing for a manpage tells me that instead of ncftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] you should use ncftp -u anonymous some.server But I might have found an outdated manpage but this from your debug output > >>> 09:00:37 Connecting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] via 172.19.11.12... >09:00:37 Fw: 172.19.11.12 Type: 1 User: skern Pass: (none) Port: 21 >09:00:37 FwExceptions: .localdomain,localdomain >09:00:37 LibNcFTP 3.1.5 (October 13, 2002) compiled for linux-x86 >09:00:37 Uname: Linux|snoopy|2.4.20-28.9|#1 Thu Dec 18 13:45:22 EST 2003|i686 >09:00:37 Glibc: 2.3.2 (stable) >09:00:37 Logging in... >09:00:37 220: server ready - login please > >>> 09:00:37 Connected to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>> 09:00:37 Cmd: USER [EMAIL PROTECTED]@ftp.cse.buffalo.edu >09:00:37 331: password required >09:00:37 Cmd: PASS xxxxxxxx >09:00:43 530: bad login also looks like this were the problem. >My ultimate goal is to set up a ftp proxy for my comapny, that first, >verifies the user is a member of a certain NT domain group, then uses the >user's NT doamin username and password for authentication to allow the >user through the ftp proxy server.

Thank you very much for your help. > >debug stuff Your debug is basically ok, but for this particular case we need ftp.proxy's debug output since the regular syslog output doesn't tell much about usernames and passwords at this stage. If you problem persits you can put ftp.proxy into debug mode with a # ftp.proxy -d -D some.port then you see all the proxy communication on stderr.
