can't access FTP sites by SQUID ! 1

[haux]

I have installed Squid with success so the PCs in the private network 192.168.0.X can browse the web, BUT one problème i had noticed i can't access the FTP sites !!!
No downloading via FTP protocoles !!!

After installing squid (with RedHat 7.2) i had just changed the HTTP_port to 8080

And the
acl deny all
to :
acl allow all

!!!
What i had forgotten ????

thanks in advance ;-)

Hi,

Thats because squid only supports client http. You would need a ftp client that supports http, e.g. a browser. To quote from the FAQ :

12.17 Can I make my regular FTP clients use a Squid cache?

Nope, its not possible. Squid only accepts HTTP requests. It speaks FTP on the server-side, but not on the client-side.

Hope this helps
