4566.0. "Using WS FTP to connect beyond the firewall" by ALLVAX::UTZ () Mon Mar 24 1997 16:43

    
    Can WS FTP be used to transfer files from an outside
    location?  It has alot of proxy setup stuff, but it's confusing
    to me - not as easy to understand as Netscape's proxy configuration.
    Has anybody gotten it to work?
    
    Thanks,
    James

    You can pull through the firewall, but you can't push unless you have a
    cryptokey.  The WS_FTP setup has probably been documented in here
    before, but here goes:
    
    In the advanced window, check the Use Firewall box.  Then, in the
    Firewall Information, enter:
    
    Host Name:	ftp-gw.pa.dec.com
    User ID:
    Password:
    Port:	1555
    
    And pick the "USER with no logon" radio button for Firewall Type.

4566.2That worked, Thanks!ALLVAX::UTZTue Mar 25 1997 09:279
    
    That helps - I was trying to configure it to use the FTP
    proxy server www-proxy.pa.dec.com:8080.  I have another utility
    called WinDownload that could be set up this way, but I guess
    WS FTP doesn't work like that.
    
    Thanks a bunch,
