Not sure if this is what you're looking for ..

1) Add "-P" option (inetd.conf) on server
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -P -l
2) Restart inetd
# inetd -c

If you have firewall (proxy) in your network and you want to ftp to remote network or internet sites then the proxy must be opnened for the requird IP (of ftp.xyz.com)and TCP-port21.

Most of the internet servers provide anonyms ftp service.

You will also need to open port 20 for the FTP data connection.

Animesh,

What kind of proxy server are you using? They behave differently. A Raptor firewall can be difficult, especially the form and syntax. A Raptor uses this format:

ftp raptorfirewall
anonymous@somemailserver usernameonraptor
passwd4anonymous
passwd4gateway

live free or die

Hi Animesh,

As Harry says, it depends on the proxy server / firewall your company used. You need to check with the folks that admin your Internet connection.

The format I had to use at a previous job was:

ftp proxy_server_address
anonymous@ftp.itrc.hp.com.com
password (generally email address for anonymous ftp)

In the above, anonymous@ftp.itrc.hp.com is the "user" name and "password" would be the password for anonymous at ftp.itrc.hp.com
