Hi all, 

Actually, the subject sais it all. How do I enable using
ftp proxy (my ISP suggests using it) to transfer files from 
remote site to my home machine? Netscape does that but 
honestly I'm getting tired of this gross resource hog. 
Besides, I'd rather use command line programs like
plain ftp or ncftp.

Sorry if question is obvious but I just didn't find an 
answer in documentation. So perhaps some kind soul would
advice me on this matter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Vladimir
