FTP access problem
Hi dear all

When i try to connect to an ftp site it shows the following error

"An FTP authentication failure occurred while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://xyz.org/
Squid sent the following FTP command:
PASS <yourpassword>
and then received this reply
User anonymous cannot log in"

I have Squid Proxy Server running on RHEL 4. Any assistance from ur side will b appreciated.

Regards
Iftikhar

In the ACL list of SQUID is the domain xyz.org allowed. It is denying the connection.

It looks like squid is not sending a username. try changing the url to be:

ftp://<username>@xyz.cm

and (even more insecure from a sniffing the network point of view) even:

ftp://<username>:<password>@xyz.com
