First, thank you Alexander for such a powerful/wonderful ftp client. I
have been using it for more than a year now. Also thanks to update my
mailing list membership :)
I have been trying different settings for more than 3 days and still no
luck so far. I searched google, the lftp mailing list archive, and the
NEC socks5 mailing list archive (which is pretty old, don't know if it
is still been updated) but didn't find any solutions. Please help me out
if you can, thank you!
Since I can not publish the proxy server address I try to use, I will
use 123.123.123.123:8888 to represent it below.
My computer: Gentoo Linux kernel-2.4.25; gcc compiler: v3.3.3; lftp:
v3.0.6
What I need: setup a socks5 client library so lftp can connect to
certain site through a socks5 proxy. It will be a plus if I can still
connect to some other ftp servers directly.
What I tried and the outcomes:
1. NEC socks5 v1.0 r11 patch 3 (the latest version, I believe).
The source does not directly compile because its included telnet and ftp
client tools are not comparible with the gcc 3.3.3. I removed the telnet
and ftp from the make script and it is now compiling without errors. I
also compiled lftp with "--with-socks5" flag and setup the
"SOCKS5_SERVER=123.123.123.123:8888"
In lftp, I can login to the ftp server through proxy, but when I do a
"ls", I receive a "connection refused" error (see debug output below).
I also tried to setup the /etc/libsocks5.conf file, which contains only
one line:
socks5 - - - - 123.123.123.123:8888
It is giving the same error.
Tried "runsocks lftp", it will not go through the proxy.
Tried the included client tool "rping", got error:
lsLibProtoExchg: Protocol exchange failed.
The lftp debug output for "ls" command (real server IP address masked):
---> PASV
<--- 227 Entering Passive Mode (xx,xxx,xxx,xx,5,122)
---- Connecting data socket to (xx.xxx.xxx.xx) port 1402
**** connect: Connection refused
---> LIST
---> ABOR
---- Closing aborted data socket
---- Closing control socket
ls: Success
2. I also tried dante v1.1.14:
I installed dante and recompiled the lftp using the --with-socksdante
flag. I also setup the /etc/socks.conf file (it is actually
/etc/socks/socks.conf in my Gentoo Linux machine) as below:
route {
from: 0.0.0.0/0 to: 0.0.0.0/0 via: 123.123.123.123 port =
8888
protocol: tcp udp # server supports tcp and udp.
proxyprotocol: socks_v5 # server supports socks v4 and v5.
}
In lftp, when I open the site using "open my_site_bookmark", it returns
immediately with:
**** control-socket: Transport endpoint is not connected
cd: Fatal error: control-socket: Transport endpoint is not connected
Because of the "cd" at the begining of the second line above, I think
lftp or dante didn't wait for the connection to be established before
issuing the "cd" command.
I also tried to set the LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libdl.so
/usr/lib/libsocks.so" (I has to specify the path /usr/lib here,
otherwise, it will error out complaining not able to find the libdl.so
file) env. flag, but got the same error in lftp.
Tried "socksify lftp", same error.
The lftp debug output for the "open my_site_bookmark" command (real
server IP address masked):
---- Resolving host address...
---- 1 address found
---- Connecting to xxx.xxx.xx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xx.xxx) port 8456
**** control-socket: Transport endpoint is not connected
---- Closing control socket
cd: Fatal error: control-socket: Transport endpoint is not connected
I am totally clueless now. I really appreciate it if you can offer any
help. Thank you!
