RE: ftp

["Zinco" <zinco@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have had limited success with ftp using sockscap V2.  Some servers will
accept the data connection and some won't.  I think it depends on which
software the server is running.
I am not knowledgeable enough to know why this is.  It seems to always be at
a certain ftp command that is gets hung up.

I'm rather puzzled why tor proxies every other protocol but refuses ftp
and says it isn't a http proxy. ftp != http. why is this error coming up?

i grepped the source for ftp and 21 and came up with nothing telling me
why it was refusing to talk to ftp servers. i installed a dedicated ftp
client, i tried a number of proxy types, obviously not http.

what's going on? how is it that ftp is some special case that resists
tor connection?
