- NOTE: There is a big difference between a SOCKS proxy and an FTP proxy. SOCKS servers normally
- reside on port 1080, and FTP proxy usually resides on port 21. Unfortunatly though, there is no
- official documentation for FTP proxies, so it is much more preferable if you could use the SOCKS
- server support instead :)

- Experimental FTP Proxy Support
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Oddly, there doesn't seem to be any official documentation on this, so don't be suprised if it
- doesn't work for you. If it doesn't, please report it as a bug :)
-
- To use the FTP Proxy, you'll need to add two new tooltypes, as below:
-
- PROXY_HOST=ftp.proxy.address
- PROXY_PORT=ftp-proxy-port
-
- Where "ftp.proxy.address" should be replaced with either the IP address or hostname of your FTP proxy
- and "ftp-proxy-port should be an integer number indicating the port to be used. Your ISP/System
- Admin/Network Admin should be able to give you this information.
-
- For example:
-
- PROXY_HOST=90.0.0.1
- PROXY_PORT=21
-
- Experimental SOCKS Support
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Technically, this should work...but due to silly servers that don't allow more than one connection at
- a time, I can't tell :/
-
- Also, you should note that this will only work with version 5 of the SOCKS protocol, it is *not*
- backwards compatible and would require a great deal more coding to do so. And it seems a bit daft to
- me to support a protocol that's obsolete.

- To use the SOCKS server, you'll need to add two new tooltypes, as below:
-
- SOCKS_HOST=socks.proxy.address
- SOCKS_PORT=socks-proxy-port
-
- Where "socks.proxy.address" should be replaced with either the IP address or hostname of your SOCKS
- server and "socks-proxy-port should be an integer number indicating the port to be used. Your
- ISP/System Admin/Network Admin should be able to give you this information.

- For example:
-
- SOCKS_HOST=90.0.0.1
- SOCKS_PORT=1080
