HINT: To configure web browsers, you can use a configuration script or the automatic detection of configuration. For details, see chapter 5.5.
Note: Web browsers used as FTP clients enable only to download files. Uploads to FTP server via web browsers are not supported.
Example of a client configuration: Total Commander
Total Commander allows either single connections to FTP server (by the Net → FTP - New Connection option available in the main menu) or creating a bookmark for repeated connections (Net → FTP - Connect). The proxy server must be configured individually for each FTP connection (or for each bookmark).
1.In the FTP: connection details dialog, enable the Use firewall (proxy server) option and click Change.
2.In the Firewall settings dialog box, select HTTP Proxy with FTP support. In the Host name textbox, enter the proxy server’s IP address and port (separated by a colon, e.g. 192.168.1.1:3128). The User name and Password entries are optional (WinRoute does not use this information).
