After some fiddling around it actually seems to work with "user proxy". What does not, however, "just work" is active ftp from a pc running Windows XP sp2 with the built-in firewall enabled. What fooled me was that while it is perfectly capable of connecting to a machine on the local network with active ftp and the firewall turned on, it does not work when you try to connect to an external server with active ftp as the XP firewall drops the return packages from the ftp-proxy after the PORT command. I can't understand why, but it seems to be well known that the XP firewall does all sorts of weird stuff to ftp clients. Sigh. Cheers, Martin.
