We have recently went behind a firewall which meant our web access was totally reliant on the proxy. FTP did not seem to the work at all with the old version of squid we were using so I've just upgraded to the latest version (2.5 stable1). This seems to improve the situation but some FTP sites do not work through the squid proxy but works through our IPlanet/Netscape proxy which we are trying to get rid of as it is so buggy. One site as an example is the finland download site for samba linked to from www.samba.org the address is ftp://fi.samba.org/pub/samba/ Under squid this site gives a ftp protocol error while the Germany and Italy links from the same page work fine. Here is a cut&paste of the error page:
ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An FTP protocol error occurred while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://fi.samba.org/pub/samba/ Squid sent the following FTP command: NLST and then received this reply Use PORT or PASV first. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generated Fri, 28 Mar 2003 12:22:25 GMT by www.comp.rgu.ac.uk (squid/2.5.STABLE1-20030303) Again this site loads ok if I use the other proxy. Also is the mailing list stored in a searchable archive as this would be really usefull source for troubleshooting and would supply a lot more info thatn just the FAQ pages.
