Re: [squid-users] accessing ftp server with non anonymous account

Thank you so much for the replies. I still can't get
Squid to forward the username and password. The client
 uses the HttpUtils found at Apache link
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/xref/org/apache/maven/util/HttpUtils.html

Squid runs on a separate server, and the FTP server on
a third server.

When calling the HttpUtils I have:
 
URLConnect.getFile(new
URL("ftp://10.0.12.62/updates.xml"),
    new File("/root/tmp/updatesFTPed.xml"), null,
    true, false, false, "djmicu", "djmicu", "
    10.0.12.101", "3128", null, null);

where
ftpServer = 10.0.12.62
ftpUserName = djmicu
ftpPassword = djmicu
ProxyHost = 10.0.12.101
ProxyPort = 3128
no authentication for the Squid porxy.

The URL used by the Java HttpUtils to create the
URLConnection object is "ftp://10.0.12.62/updates.xml"

But Squid does not pass the ftpUserName and password,
instead it sends the FTP server user anonymous. Could
it be some setting in my config file?

Note, if I use the browser and type url
ftp://djmicu:djmicu@10.0.12.62/updates.xml, I get the
file retrieved. Browser has the proxy set for
ProsyHost 10.0.12.101 on port 3128 for FTP.

Please help me. I don't know what else to do to get
this working correctly from Java.

Thank you much!
