Sorry, you are not currently allowed to request: ftp://reso.ac.in@xxxxxxxxxx/ from this cache until you have authenticated yourself. You need to use Netscape version 2.0 or greater, or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, or an HTTP/1.1 compliant browser for this to work. Please contact the cache administrator if you have difficulties authenticating yourself or change your default password. There might be need to configure, thus i am enclosing squid.conf herewith.
