I have a Squid 2.7Stable3 install. (Debian Lenny package, kernel, etc.)
Clients are configured with a proxy.pac, and we use ntlm authentication. This is not a transparent proxy.
When users attempt to use IE7 or IE8 for non-anonymous FTP sessions through Squid, they receive an anonymous access denied reply.
When users attempt to use IE7 or IE8 without using Squid (a proxy.pac exception or explicitly setting the browser to not use a proxy) they are presented with the FTP login dialog that they expect.
When users attempt to use Firefox 3.x for non-anymous FTP sessions, they receive the login dialog that they expect.
This is the problem:
1) browser doing FTP native protocol shows login popup (Umm, think
about that one).
2a) browser sending FTP protocol wrapped in HTTP request seem not to
show popup when asked for _HTTP-auth_ details.
2b) Squid does have bug preventing it requesting HTTP-auth for FTP
protocol.
Is there a special trick to get IE7+ to use Squid for non-anonymous FTP?
Yes. Send Squid the login details as part of the URL ftp://user:pass@domain/
