You can also proxy ftp service. But ncftp cannot use proxy servers like squid which are http based. So you will have to use clients like wget which can get files through proxies.

If you want to use ftp clients like ncftp you will have to configure NAT on your router machine and allow to connect to ftp ports. (Simple NATing will enable only PASSIVE mode of ftp. To get PORT mode to work in ftp, you have to use ftp connection tracking module.)

Hi friends,

I have a DSL (DISHNET) connection and I had set up a proxy server (Jana) in the machine which the DSL line is connected. Now for the browsing there is no problem from other machines which are in LAN. This I had done it by re-directing the broswer by puting the IP address of the proxy server.

Now I want to do ftp from my machine using ncftp through the proxy server to our web location www.xyz.com from my machine.

I want to do command line operations like ncftpget and ncftpput, which had set in crontab.

How to configure my machine to do the same. Please guide me.

Regrds,

Vinod.
