Hello,

I am sitting behind a http proxy and need to access the internet through this channel. 
In most cases this works fine - but there are certain FTP server sites that I can only 
access via browser or wget. This also is no problem - as long as I need to retrieve 
data. 

Problems come up as soon as I need to upload data - this seems to be possible only via 
netscape 4. All tools that I used (including gftp, kbear, lftp) do not help out. E.g. 
using gftp I can access ftp.suse.com - but not these sites. As the browser is rahter 
unreliable in this respect I would like to use another tool.

Problem sites are 
  testcase.boulder.ibm.com
  ftp.software.ibm.com

Since wget is able to obtain directoy listings / retrieve data from there is should be 
possible to also upload data (the browser is able to as well). What is so special 
about wget that it is able to perform this task ? If I knew, maybe I could find a 
solution to this problem.

I am running LInux SuSE9.0, kernel 2.4.26, wget-1.8.2-301. I have set env variable 
  http_proxy
  ftp_proxy
which make the connection working fine with wget.

Any idea ?
Thank you

Malte
