    <description>That is a lot clearer thank you Kevin. What happened when you tried what I suggested by ftp-ing to the pass through server:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;ftp passthrough.server.name&lt;BR /&gt;USER: anonymous@ftp.nai.com&lt;BR /&gt;PASS: your@email.address&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I know it sounds weird but that is the way it works here.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Good luck</description>

      <description>&lt;BR /&gt;Hi all,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I'd like to use an ftp client that will allow me to access the Internet from a HP-UX server that is behind a firewall.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;There is a passthrough proxy server on the WAN that will allow me to access the Internet (for example, from my PC).  &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I understand that it may be possible to do this with a SOCKS proxy server by using an ftp client like socks_cstc-4.2.pre1 but there is no SOCKS proxy on my WAN, and no plans to install one.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If I bypass the passthrough proxy, I will have no direct IP connection to the ftp server on the Internet because we use Network Address translation (NAT) on the WAN.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Is there any way to configure my ftp client to use the passthrough proxy server?  &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks,&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Kevin</description>

      <description>Hi, &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Is it possible for you to get an account on the proxy server. You can ftp from the internet to this server and from this server you can put it on your server. A direct connection to the HPUX server will need a firewall change for ftp you need port 20 and 21. but i would not advice this. It is a security risc. (with ftp the passwd will go clear text over the network.)&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Gideon</description>

      <description>I am a little unclear on what you are trying to do. Most firewalls, with or without proxy servers, and NAT will just pass the request through to the intended server like it came from them. I am curious what happens when you get on your HPUX box and try to ftp to a destination on the Internet. What errors etc?&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Also you may already have all you need to get the job done, you just have'nt figured it out. On our pass through server we will ftp to it and instead of a username and password I would type user@outside.com and wait for the password challenge.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;So the session would go like this:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;ftp passthrough.your.com&lt;BR /&gt;Connected to passthrough.your.com&lt;BR /&gt;Nane: user@internet.add.com&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;inetnet.add.com&lt;BR /&gt;PASSWORD: ******&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I hope I am explaning that clearly.&lt;BR /&gt;good luck,&lt;BR /&gt;John</description>

      <description>&lt;BR /&gt;John - sorry if I was unclear.  I've installed VirusScan on my HP-UX server and i'm trying to schedule a download of the updated DAT files from ftp.nai.com.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I've set up my .netrc file as follows:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;machine ftp.nai.com&lt;BR /&gt;        login anonymous&lt;BR /&gt;        password &lt;MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;macdef  init&lt;BR /&gt;        cd /pub/antivirus/datfiles/4.x&lt;BR /&gt;        bin&lt;BR /&gt;        prompt&lt;BR /&gt;        mget dat-*.tar&lt;BR /&gt;        close&lt;BR /&gt;        bye&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;When I run "ftp ftp.nai.com", I get &lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;ftp: connect: Network is unreachable&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I'm sure that this is because we use NAT on the WAN and no public IP addresses are permitted.  The firewall between me and the Internet is in a different country, so I need to access it across our WAN.  This all works fine from my Windows PC, but I can't seem to get it working from Unix.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Gideon - thanks for the interesting suggestion. I will talk to the proxy server administrator to see if this is possible.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I want to be able to schedule the ftp download on cron, though, so maybe relying on another server, over which I have no control, is not the best possible option, unless the proxy can be configured to automatically download the file that I need.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;/MY_EMAIL_ADDRESS&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;BR /&gt;I tried your suggestion, John.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I added the following to .netrc&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;machine ukproxy&lt;BR /&gt;        login anonymous@ftp.nai.com&lt;BR /&gt;        password my_email_address&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Running "ftp ukproxy" gave me:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;ftp: connect: Connection refused&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Does this mean that the FTP server on ukproxy is disabled?  If so, then I'll have to talk to the proxy server administrator.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

      <description>It could be Kevin. Here is what I just did on our LAN to test your method:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;.netrc Mode 400 :&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;root&amp;gt; cat .netrc&lt;BR /&gt;machine passthrough&lt;BR /&gt;login anonymous@ftp.nai.com&lt;BR /&gt;password my_email@your.com&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;here is the session output:&lt;BR /&gt;root&amp;gt; ftp passthrough&lt;BR /&gt;Connected to xxx-xx-xx-xxx-43.my.com.&lt;BR /&gt;220-&lt;BR /&gt;Company official business and subject to being monitored at&lt;BR /&gt;          any time.

      <description>&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks for all your help so far.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;It seems that the tar file that I'm trying to download is already being dowloaded daily by someone else on the WAN, so I'm going to try to ftp it from there.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;I may need some more help if this is not a runner.  I'm not forgetting your points!&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>
