Hi, it seems it improved a bit.
My 'wgetrc' file now looks like (I replaced the real Proxy name, IP
and port with
<proxy_name>, <IP_proxy_addr>, and <port_number>)

______________

http_proxy = <proxy_name>:<port_number>
ftp_proxy = <proxy_name>:<port_number>
use_proxy = on
______________


This is what gets displayed on my Cygwin window
______________
$ wget --passive-ftp ftp://ecos.sourceware.org/pub/ecos/ecos-install.tcl
--10:05:41--  ftp://ecos.sourceware.org/pub/ecos/ecos-install.tcl
          => `ecos-install.tcl.1'
Resolving <proxy_name>... <IP_proxy_addr>
Connecting to <proxy_name>|<IP_proxy_addr>|:<port_number>... connected.
Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 407 Proxy Authentication Required
10:05:41 ERROR 407: Proxy Authentication Required.
______________

And it stops.
When I usually connect to the proxy (i.e. to surf the web) I provide a
username and password. How can I add Username/password to 'wgetrc'? Or
is there anything else to be done?


Thanx alot,
Antonio.

Set the proxies.  There is one for http and one for ftp:

http_proxy =
ftp_proxy =

Don't forget to enable the proxies either:

use_proxy = on

This may be of little use if your ftp proxy server does not conform to
what wget supports.  NcFTP and FileZilla both have much broader
support for proxy servers.
