WININNET and FTP external access using proxy authentication

[Peter Richards]

Our company firewall server requires authentication (user name and password)
for external FTP tranfers. WINIT's internet_connect funcrion does not have
parameters for firewall authentication, only parameters for authentication to
the remote FTP server.

Does anyone know of a work-around for this problem, besides executing a DOS
batch file to perform the FTP transfer?

Does .NET offer any alternatives?

Peter,

you can use InternetSetOption using the INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_USERNAME and
INTERNET_OPTION_PROXY_PASSWORD flags with the session handle.

As far as I can tell, InternetSetOption can only set the username and
password for CERN-type FTP proxies, is that right? And Wininet has no
username/password support for TIS or other FTP proxies?

Can anyone suggest where I might find a list of open FTP proxies (of
any and all types) for testing?

i have created a live update for my application. My clients need to run
run the live update behind a proxy. How can i using WinInet API
authenticate aganist this proxy so that i can reach the live update?
