LFTP problem when using proxies

vikler · 10-28-2013, 05:29 PM

Hi everyone. I can't seem to use LFTP with proxies that require authentification correctly on my Ubuntu server.
When I use it with proxy that doesn't require username/password everything seems fine:

Code:

lftp 
lftp :~> set http:proxy http://HOST:PORT 
lftp :~> set ftp:proxy http://HOST:PORT 
lftp :~> open username:password@some.ftp.site.com 
lftp username@some.ftp.site.com:~> get file.ext 
file.ext 
36352 bytes transferred in 10 seconds (3.5K/s) 
lftp username@some.ftp.site.com:~> exit

but when I have to put username/password there is a problem:

Code:

 lftp 
lftp :~> set http:proxy http://proxylogin:proxypass@HOST:port 
lftp :~> set ftp:proxy http://proxylogin:proxypass@HOST:port 
lftp :~> open ftp://ftpuser:ftppass@ftpserv.com

answer:

Code:

cd: Access failed: 401 Authentication Required (~)

please someone help!

Hi

Maybe you need some other auth-type? From "man lftp":

Code:

    ftp:proxy-auth-type (string)
              When set to ``joined'', lftp sends ``user@proxy_user@ftp.example.org'' as user name to proxy, and ``password@proxy_password'' as password.

              When  set  to  ``joined-acct'',  lftp  sends  ``user@ftp.example.org proxy_user'' (with space) as user name to proxy. The site password is sent as usual and the proxy password is
              expected in the following ACCT command.

              When set to ``open'', lftp first sends proxy user and proxy password and then ``OPEN ftp.example.org'' followed by ``USER user''.  The site password is then sent as usual.

              When set to ``user'' (default), lftp first sends proxy user and proxy password and then ``user@ftp.example.org'' as user name.  The site password is then sent as usual.

              When set to ``proxy-user@host'', lftp first sends ``USER proxy_user@ftp.example.org'', then proxy password. The site user and password are then sent as usual.
