Squid is not really an ftp proxy. It is good enough for a browser, but not for a decent FTP client, that ues sessions (for a browser, each FTP request is usually a seperate session. This is not the case for a standard FTP client. Try connecting to a busy ftp server. Some ftp clients can use this (espcially if they only need to get spesific files), but this is not always a replacement for an FTP proxy, if you want to deny direct connection. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir
