it seems that our sysad has setup squid to be a proxy for everything (or so it seems). i dont know how he did it, but http, ftp, ssl, and socks have to go through the same ip and same port. if errors are encountered, via ftp, like connection timeouts, a squid generated error page is displayed. beats me on how that happens. ;) > > Yes it can.
