We have just installed a Bluecoat Security/Proxy system for our business.
Some of our end-users need to FTP through the Bluecoat for various reasons. Â We have a solution for Windows users, but not our couple Mac OS users.
FileZilla v.2.2.32 works with Windows because it has a FTP proxy compatibility setting named:
- USER RemoteID@RemoteHost FireID
Unfortunately, v2.2.32 is unavailable (except via source code) for Mac OS. Â Version 3.x is available for Mac, but the Proxy settings have changed... Â I think it will be a matter of arranging the security/communication string correctly, but heck if I know in what order... Â Heres whats in FileZilla v3: Â
-----------
USER %s
PASS %w
USER %u@%h
PASS %p
ACCT %a
-----------
(%h=host, %u=username, %p=password, %s=proxy user, %w=proxy password, %a=account(lines containing this will be omitted if not using Account logontype))
-----------
Anyone have advice???
If not on the connection string, does anyone know of a FTP client for Mac that handles the non-transparent proxy security type USER RemoteID@RemoteHost FireID???
*Please note that I cannot change any of the Bluecoat settings*
*Please also note that I am a Windows-head and have no access to the Mac in question* :-)
If I can explain something better, please let me know! Â And thank you for your time experts!!

I am really hoping someone has some FileZilla v3 experience because I think it can do the task. Â I am just not familiar enough with the order of the string components.
Or a specific FTP client that directly handles "USER RemoteID@RemoteHost FireID"
Thanks!

I found this posting too. Â However, after checked on Cyberduck's website/forums, I found it does not support non-transparent proxies. Â :-(
So the search continues...

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
