Smoothwall, Connecting to FTP that needs authentication?

[AstroTurf]

Hi,

I need to connect to a FTP server that needs authentication through smoothwall.

How do I go about doing this?

An FTP authentication failure occurred while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://ftp.ftpserveraddress.net/

Squid sent the following FTP command:

PASS <yourpassword>

and then received this reply

Login incorrect.

There are several ways the login can be done with FTP through Squid.

ftp_user directive will accept the username or usernameassword values to be used by default on all FTP login requests. It will be overridden by any other available login credentials.

The strongest credentials that override all others are credentials added to the URL itself.

Insert your username in the host part of the URL, for example:

ftp://joecool@ftp.example.com/

Squid (from 2.6 through to 3.0) will then use a default password.

Alternatively, you can specify both your username and password in the URL itself:

ftp://joecool:secret@ftp.example.com/

However, we certainly do not recommend this, as it could be very easy for someone to see or grab your password.
