Hi all,
I've a problem with my SquidNT setup: in short, I cannot download files from FTP sites:( I've read the Squid FAQ & docs and I use ftp from Internet Explorer, so it must work.


In detail: if I want to download a Linux Mandrake distro, in Mandrake website there are some links to public ftp mirrors; if I choose a ftp site, like ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/10.1/i586/ , I can see Squid doing its html page for the ftp site (and I also notice that a filesize is NEGATIVE),

This is normal in the current Squid build for files bigger then 2 GB. With the STABLE10 release this should be fixed for al platforms.


when I try to download an iso (or another type of file) I receive this error from Squid:

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

The following URL could not be retrieved: ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/10.1/Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD1.i586.iso

Squid sent the following FTP command:

  RETR Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD1.i586.iso

and then received this reply

  Failed to open file.

This might be caused by an FTP URL with an absolute path (which does not comply with RFC 1738). If this is the cause, then the file can be found at ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/%2f/pub/Mirrors/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/10.1/Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD1.i586.iso

I've tried to click on the suggested link, but got no luck :(

There's something to do in squid.conf to permit the download from ftp sites (from internet browser, I know Squid isn't a ftp proxy so client ftp programs won't run)?

Any advice is greatly appreciated :)

bye, Euepec

There is something strange here:

The link generated in the error page is wrong:
ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/10.1/Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD1.i586.iso

The correct is:

ftp://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mandrakelinux/official/iso/10.1/i586/Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD1.i586.iso

I have just tried on my development machine, and all work fine. I think that this problem was fixed from the following patches:

http://www1.it.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/#squid-2.5.STABLE9-ftp_base_href
http://www1.it.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/bugs/#squid-2.5.STABLE9-ftp_EPLF

The fixes will be available with Windows STABLE10 binaries.

You could try to use another ftp mirror or download using http.

Regards

Guido
