I have a question which I think is a bit different to the one Richard was
asking, but perhaps it is related?
One of my internet service providers (well actually, my university) only
allows access to the internet via a proxy server. So I can use netscape
to ftp (and I presume use telnet though I haven't tried this). However I
cannot use normal ftp programs and mirror etc, because I don't have direct
access to the internet.
My question is, can you set up your system so that all ftping telneting
etc is automatically done via the proxy? In particular, can I set things
up so that mirror will work?
Cheers,
Mark.
