I apologize if this is a FAQ, but I've done a Google search and looked at the Squid FAQ without finding the answer.
FTP requests from web browsers time out. The squid cache is behind an OpenBSD firewall that's doing FTP proxying, but I know the firewall is not the issue because doing transfers with a standard FTP program on the Squid host works in both active and passive mode. I've tried both settings of ftp_passive without seeing any difference. The odd thing is if I manually request a specific directory, I usually get a listing; but attempts to access URLs that specify a specific file always fail. --- David Brodbeck, System Administrator InterClean Equipment, Inc. 3939 Bestech Drive Suite B Ypsilanti, MI 48197 (734) 975-2967 x221 (734) 975-1646 (fax)
