According to the ftp manpage, the variables for proxying are: ftp_proxy URL of FTP proxy to use when making FTP URL requests (if not defined, use the standard FTP protocol). See http_proxy for further notes about proxy use. http_proxy URL of HTTP proxy to use when making HTTP URL requests. If proxy authentication is required and there is a user- name and password in this URL, they will automatically be used in the first attempt to authenticate to the proxy. If ``unsafe'' URL characters are required in the username or password (for example `@' or `/'), encode them with RFC3986 `%XX' encoding. Note that the use of a username and password in ftp_proxy and http_proxy may be incompatible with other programs that use it (such as lynx(1)). NOTE: this is not used for interactive sessions, only for command-line fetches. Notice the capitalization, "ftp_proxy" as opposed to "FTP_PROXY". Not sure why environment variables are not all caps, seems inconsistent. -- staticsafe O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org Please don't top post - http://goo.gl/YrmAb Don't CC me!
