Good day to all readers, I have a problem in my network before this i'm allowing ftp without proxy but yahoo mesengger is using that port to connect. so we block port 21 on our firewall. but the problem is at proxy server that we block numericall ips using method CONNECT since skype is using that method. skype have hundreds of ips. how can i allow ftp to connect since after succesfully connect to the ftp server the ftp client request ips to list file. example like this (ftp client log) [R] PASV [R] 227 Entering Passive Mode (203,223,150,153,130,243) [R] Opening data connection via Proxy this is my squid config (in order) ...... ftp_user user@xxxxxxxxxx ftp_list_width 64 ftp_passive on ...... acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl CONNECT method CONNECT acl FTP proto FTP ........ http_access allow FTP http_reply_access allow FTP ....... #skype acl numeric_IPs url_regex ^[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+ ..... # allow direct ftp always_direct allow FTP ..... http_access deny numeric_IPS ....... we are using proxy 2.5 stable 11
