FlashFXP latest beta version and Squid proxy

rimvydukas · 01-12-2002, 06:06 AM

I took the latest beta version of your software (FFXP 1.4.1 Build 829) because your
official version did not wanted to work with my ISP proxy. As I saw,
this version does not want to work with proxy too

My ISP uses
Squid 2.4 as HTTP proxy, and I can't connect to ftp servers through
this proxy with FlashFXP. CuteFTP works without any problems. You've
did great ftp client and I like it very much. Can you help me to
ressolve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Here you go status messages:

its looks as if your squid proxy denied ur access to the ftp for whatever reason

try without the proxy =)

As I said, I can connect through the same proxy with CuteFTP Pro, Bulletproof FTP without any problems. So think again.

to me that says your squid proxy DENIED you

The problem is that your proxy is not configured to allow the CONNECT method which FlashFXP requires. You will need to contact your isp and ask them to enable support. The CONNECT method provides a lot more control over the GET / POST methods and is required to FXP.

Just because other ftp clients work doesn't mean they work the same way. I suspect they don't.

You can pass this on to your admin. This must be added to your squid.conf file

acl CONNECT method CONNECT
http_access allow CONNECT

This would also be a good thing to add to the FAQ's

bigstar · 01-12-2002, 07:15 PM

Yes it sure would. you would not believe how many people have asked me how to enable it. I never knew how.

That information needs to be carved in stone

Duly noted.

Is it possible to make FlashFXP to understand GET / POST method?
Because I dont think that my provider will enable this method

For
now I'm forced to use CuteFTP but not your nice program

Is is so
sad

Other FTP clients support both methods without any problems.

bigstar · 01-13-2002, 06:21 PM

no, we will not be supporting GET / POST
