wget & ftp proxy authentication
 

I need to connect with wget(1.9.1) through our company proxy to some Internet ftp server.

in .wgetrc

proxy_user=myname
proxy_password=mypassword
ftp_proxy=ftp://company.domain:4421

Sadly proxy user & password variables are for http proxies only and after

wget -c ftp://outer.space.com/pub/data/readme.txt

wget finds ftp gateway but tries to authenticate as anonymous which fails :(

Is there some trick how to force wget to send authentication information to ftp proxy ?


Thx
