Hello,

thank you for the information.

If I sepcify the following parameter in my configuration file  it :
ftp_epsv OFF

FTP with firefox is working.

I think users will needs to use Filezilla or something equivalent, so
what kind of Solution Do I Have ?

My main goal is to setup a squid in order to specify bandwith limitation.

By the way, does delay_parameters are apply to Safe_ports ?
For information I use the following ACL :
delay_access 1 allow all


Regards,

Hugo
