Hello,
I want to use the ftpcli component and use it to connect to a server
server through a proxy server. The proxy server uses ftp
authentication. How should i configure this in the FTP component.
At this moment the problem is that i can not choose the option for
username and password for the proxy server separately from the
username and password for the ftp server. If this isn't possible with
the ftpcli component, what alternative should i try out?
This was answered by Steve Williams quite a while ago:

First of all, not all proxies or firewalls are the same. So have a look at
product documentation. However, most products support a transparent proxy
which doesn't require any special programming:
1) Instead of connection to a remote FTP server, you connect to the proxy
2) User name is replaced by user name, followed by '@' sign then followed by
target remote FTP server host name.
3) Password is usual remote FTP server password.
4) Most require using Passive mode.
Example: You want to connect to ftp.borland.com, using anonymous connection,
company firewall/proxy is running on host named proxyserver.
FtpCli1.HostName := 'proxyserver';
FtpCli1.UserName := '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
FtpCli1.Password := '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
FtpCli1.Passive := TRUE;
