Philippe, maybe in your environment now, it is not necessary to use a SOCKS proxy to access the FTP server, and because of this, the SOCKS proxy has not been configured to proxy for it. Does it fix your problem if you tell XXE not to use a SOCKS proxy for the (newly-addressed?) FTP server?
The text "Malformed reply from SOCKS server" seems to come from the bowels of the java.net.SocksSocketImpl class. As I read the code there [1], it can be thrown any time a SOCKS server sends less data than it ought to before closing the stream. cheers, David.
