Cannot connect to ftp through proxy

I connect my computer to a proxy server on another computer on my network for http access which works fine. However, when I connect through smartftp I have problems. Under Tools -> Settings -> Proxy I have added the host address and port (21) and tried the type as SITE hostname and OPEN hostname. I also tried port 1080 with SOCKS4 and SOCKS5.
It connects to the proxy ok and then connects to the ftp address with the username and password but pauses at the line "Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list" until it times out with "Connection closed. Server timeout."
I've allowed the appropriate connections on my firewall which is installed on the proxy machine. The proxy software is AnalogX Proxy 4.12 and I have SmartFTP v1.0 Build 966.

Any help would be appreciated.

Bit of a coincidence but I have exactly the same problem. I've tried several other ftp clients and none have worked except for a dart activex. Version 1.0.973

ftp works fine from the pc with the isdn line, just from mine it doesn't.

I too am using the Analogx latest proxy and have tried everything without result.

However, I have been able to use the trial version of Bullet Proof FTP and the FREE version of AceFTP3 through the free program SocksCap:-

with no problems (you run your applications through it). However, I couldn't get SmartFTP to even run though it, let alone connect.
Shame ! Still - I can still use it on the main computer.

:wink:

hi,
just found howto with analogX proxy.
Download sockscapv2 from permeo.com, adjust the settings of your proxy and the path of the .exe of smart FTP. In smart ftp, tools>settings>proxy, USER user@host
