Hello, 
    I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this
but I can't find anyone else having this issue, so a
plead for a bit of assistance.

I am attempting to use lftp (great app thanks) to do
automated transfers.

I am connecting to the recieving server through a
squid proxy always.
Everything works fine if I manually enter in all the
commands (open, user, etc).

but when i try this command line:
lftp -u user,password ftp1.server.com

the recieving server doesn't recieve the entire
password, which results in not authorizing the user.
I ran a sniffer trace and saw that the password is
being sent via Basic auth, and gives and
encryted(hashed?) string as the password.
in the successful trial, i get a particular scting.
in the failed trial, i get mostly the same string as
the successful trial, expect the last few characters
were replaced with an equal sign (=)
ex.
working: edfk87Ug96ghGyui5t8
not working: edfk87Ug96ghGyu=

does this make any sense?

thank you for reading this.

--randomstr.
