FTP Proxies and Ports

[Bigelow, Andrea L.]

Remko, I really appreciate the suggestion. I gave it a go, and it doesn't
seem to work with my style of proxy. I think I'll consult with our security
folks here and see what they have to say.

I'd needed to set
ftp_proxy=http://username:password@<proxy>:<prt>
and
http_proxy=http://username:password@<proxy>:<prt>
while using squid.
Yes there are 2 http's.

Test it ;)

Cheers!
