Hi Will,
You should go into the Proxy section of Fetch Preferences and set the Proxy type menu to
User with no logo (aka. USER user@host)
Also, you'll need to enter the hostname of the proxy server in the Proxy hostname field.
Does that work?
Thanks,

Yes that works. I didn't seem to have the port number entered and yet the ip of the proxy was there so I guess I didn't quite get there before...
Thank you for your help. Fetch is a very good ftp client for mac...

I have done a search on this but I am facing considerable frustrations with the corporate proxy for ftp from Mac OS.
When I use my favourite ftp client in Windows I need to configure the proxy to be USER USER@FTPHOST.
What I don't seem to be able to do in Mac is any further proxy configuration than what is available in the network setup - basically only sepcifying the ftp host and port and an optional username and password
but my proxy host does not require a password authentication but rather a specific syntax for initiating the onward connection.
so fetch does not connect.
This is the proxy configuration that works from within windows (actually via NAT and a vmware guest on my mac...)
USER ftp-user@ftp-host ftp-port
is there any way to get Mac OS and fetch to use the same configuration?
