    Hi,

    I need to ftp files. However, i have to go through a FTP proxy so basicly this is what i do

    I connect to the proxy and then I have to user@ftp.xxx.xxx
    however, I need to mput a directory and am told that ncftp can do this however one I get connected to the proxy I can't figure out how to connect to the ftp.

    Anyone know how to do this? please bear in mind I am a total newbie.

    Thanks

    It's been awhile, but the best thing to do is first tell ncftp about the proxy server.

    in ~/.ncftp/firewall

    firewall-type=4
    firewall-host=proxy.example.com (Change to ip of proxy server)
    firewall-port=8080 (8080 is an example change this to whatever port it uses)
    firewall-user=ntlbell (Change to user)
    firewall-password=password (Change to password)

    then just connect to the ftp server as normal

    ncftp -u blah -p blah ftp.example.com

    you might check to the man pages to make sure that's right.

    thanks for that.

    Would you believe all I had to do was turn passive on!!!

    One more problem now.

    I am trying to upload a load of directories with jpg files in them i am using
    mput -r *
    this uploads all the files but doesn't keep the directory structure it just sends all the files to the same directory.

    Can anyone help with this?

    thanks
