Allowing FTP thru Squid?
Hi,
Am using Squid on an RHEL3 box. I have a user who runs WS_FTP client on a Win2K machine in my network. I want him to be able to connect to his FTP Server through the proxy. How do I go about doing it? I have already tried the following :- acl FTP proto FTP acl venki src 192.168.19.29/32 http_access allow venki FTP This did not work. I have also tried out the following and it did not work :- acl FTP proto FTP acl venki src 192.168.19.29/32 http_access allow venki FTP always_direct allow FTP Could somebody please help? |
Is your WS-FTP setup to go through the proxy? Are your firewall settings right? Can you browse and download files from the FTP site using a web browser on that Win2k machine?
I don't think FTP through squid will allow uploading files - if you want to do that either search google for an 'ftp proxy' or simply open the FTP port outgoing in your firewall for that particular Win2k computer. |
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. We have configured the WS-FTP to connect thru the proxy. It is not connecting in the first place. I think squid does allow uploading of files. Just that we are not able to connect the application thru squid. It does connect thru a nat though, but that will make my life as an admin miserable in having to redefining rules that have already been done in squid. that is why i dont want to have a nat and then put a firewall on it. |
