> We have a FreeBSD 2.2.8R System with a Squid Proxy installed. > Unfortunately it seems that users can't upload files via ftp > because squid doesn't suppport it. hi, your squid 1.1.15 doesn't support it, but 2.xxx does. upgrading is well worthwhile for many reasons, partly security (the newer one requires content-length on CONNECT requests, amongst other things, which you want unless you want people to be able to irc/smtp through your squid), also the performance is far better. if you want to keep the old cache files you will need to run both versions in parallel for a while - change the current port 8080 to something else (for example 8081) and setup 2.xx on 8080 set to point to localhost:8081 (or whichever port you used) as a parent cache. If you are pressed for disk space, start the new cache small and the old cache large and gradually increase the size of the new cache and decrease the size of the old cache. After a few weeks most of the sites that are going to see some benefit from using the cache will be moved over to the new cache directory and you should be able to switch off the old one and delete the remaining cache. hope this helps, Stuart To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
