Hello,
I am having some problems connecting to FTP sites via HTTP proxy.

when i try to connect from IE or from wincmd it all works just fine but when i try to connect from FlashFXP i get the following error message:

Connecting to MyFTPServer via Proxy (proxy.netvision.net.il:8080)
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>403 Forbidden</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>Forbidden</H1>
<H4>
You were denied access because:<P>
Access denied by access control list.
</H4>
<HR>
</BODY>
</HTML>

I am using :
FlashFXP v[3].[0], build [1015], unregistered version
OS WinXP
Running behind NAT/router
Running firewall Yes, Name [iptables],
Running Antivirus Yes, Name [Symantec]
Network CABLE

Any help or ideas would be appreciated,
thanks.

FlashFXP uses the CONNECT method when using a HTTP Proxy. This method is not allowed by your HTTP Proxy.

Thanks for the quick response.

So is there anything i can do in order to make FlashFXP work with this proxy ?

No, the proxy will need to be re-configured to allow the CONNECT method.
