Hi David (& Hussein), We work on Linux, but it does not matter presently. Yes, our company uses a global INternet access & proxy detection mechanism, but we do not use it for internal hosts, for which we use *no proxies* (at least, this is what we set up in the Network Proxy settings...). Actually, I have some doubts about how Java is handling this internally since we get the same problem -- after additional checkings -- also with other Java applications... To complete the tests, if I just try to browse the content of our FTP server, say, ftp://ourFTPhost, From 2) Firefox (directly from the address field) 1) XXE (Browse remote files... when selecting an output file for example) It works as expected in case 1) (It gives me the content of the FTP server in the Web page) but not in case 2) (I gives me the same Java error: "Malformed reply from SOCKS server"). I appreciate your help very much, but don't loose your time on this; it seems to be more a Java than a XXE related problem... Best regards,
