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

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

Thanks for ur help.The domain is allowed in acls and there is no restriction for this domain.

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
