Re: [squid-users] FTP firewall

Hameed,

If don't know about squid, I will refer you too visit www.squid-cache.org.
Squid is http based cache and proxy server. Squid have http based ftp
support but did not support native ftp. For this you will have to redirect
yoru traffic via firewall to direct internet instead using squid.
I will suggest better to use squid on UNIX flavoure OS instead using
Windows OS.

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
