This does seem to be a function of the interaction between Squid, Mozilla and the ftp service. If I use ftp://username@xxxxxxxxxxx without proxy I am prompted for a password, and can log in. If I try the same with proxy (either Squid2.5Stable7 -> Squid2.5Stable4 -> Squid2.5Stable3 (local proxy, cache parent, cache parent) or just the Squid2.5Stable7 proxy), I don't get prompted for a password, and see the error: ---------- An FTP authentication failure occurred while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://username@xxxxxxxxxxx/ Squid sent the following FTP command: PASS <yourpassword> and then received this reply Login incorrect. ---------- Cest la vie, Chris -----Original Message----- From: Henri Walazo [mailto:henri.walazo@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2005 8:08 AM To: Chris Robertson Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [squid-users] Problem with FTP upload through squid : truncat ed files I already tried this, but mozilla doesn't ask me for a password, instead I get an error page : "ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved The FTP server was too busy while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://myuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ Squid sent the following FTP command: USER myuser and then received this reply Service not available, closing control connection." (I replaced the real user by "myuser" in the error message) But if I put my password after the user name, it works Thanks anyway Henri On Mon, 24 Jan 2005 09:41:57 -0900, Chris Robertson <crobertson@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Henri Walazo [mailto:henri.walazo@xxxxxxxxx] > > Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 2:15 AM > > To: Elsen Marc > > Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: Re: [squid-users] Problem with FTP upload through squid : > > truncated files > > > > > > Thanks, it works with Mozilla 1.7.5 > > > > However, is it possible to connect to a ftp site through mozilla > > without typing the user and password in plain text in the url ? > > > > ftp://user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > You will be prompted for the password, and it will not show up in the > browser bar or on the webpage. > > Chris >
