Hi all:

I am thoroughly confused at this point in getting file transfer to work. I have been able to receive a file successfully but I am still unable to send a file. I complete successfully the authentication method negotiation as specified in rfc 1928 and then proceed to wait for the host name and port from the remote user, in this case both a psi and an exodus client. They send along something similar to this:

VN   5
CMD  1
ATYP 3
ADDR 729990ed12aff38e1e4821d3b1952a8b77c2910f
PORT 0

and then I respond with:

VN   5
CMD  0
ATYP 3
ADDR 729990ed12aff38e1e4821d3b1952a8b77c2910f
PORT 0

Then after i send this message both exodus and PSI throw up an error that they could not connect to a stream host. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or have any insight into what i could do differently? Any help is greatly appreatiated.

Hi:

I am having some trouble implementing file transfers i am using both exodus and PSI to test with. I am attempting to do a direct connection currently and as far as I know I am implementing the byte stream correctly because both PSI and Exodus are connecting to my socket successfully but my problem lies in that I am not sure why they are sending me what they are sending me and what to do with it. when exodus connects it sends me three bytes: 5 1 0. 5 I assume is for socks version 5, 1 I assume is for command 1 but shouldn't that be followed with the addr type, the addr and then the port? Thats if I am reading the JEP correctly. Irregardless of whatever it means I send back two bytes, 0 0, as an acknowledgement of the connection but then exodus throws up an error message, unable to connect to any proxies. From PSI i recieve the output on the socket 5 2 0 2 and when i attempt to send the ack 0 0 i get the error, unable to connect to peer for file transfer. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you read http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1928.html ?  It will be
useful to you.

But to your actual problem: Exodus sending the three bytes 5 1 0.  5
is indeed the SOCKS version.  1 is the number of authentication
methods supported - each of them being identified by one byte.  The
following byte is therefore the only method supported, and 0 means "no
authentication".  You're supposed to select one method by sending 5,
X, where X is the number of the method.  Thus, send 5 0.

Psi apparently supports username/password authentication in addition
to no authentication... not sure why.
