FTP PROXY SOLARIS 8

[stovie]

Hi All,

I need help using the native Solaris 8 ftp client. I need to ftp through a proxy. How would this be confiured on Solaris 8? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

does your proxy allow active ftp? If yes, you don't have to do anything, since the proxy is just a step on your way to the ftp server; if the proxy does allow passive ftp only you need to switch to passive. I think I have seen docs at sunsolve.sun.com how to do this (keywords: passive ftp)

Best Regards, Franz

I believe that the native Solaris ftp utility does not support passive mode. A better way might be to install wget, and use the proxy mode options in wget (if the source uses passive mode). I am sure there are even better ftp utilities available.
