socks5 and prosy authentication (6 posts)

  I have some users running MAC version 10.3.9 that needed FTP access through a BlueCoat proxy. I had them purchase Fetch version 5.0.5. Whenever I set the proxy option to use socks5 the username and password field get greyed out and do not allow me to enter a proxy ID and password. How can I use socks5 with a username and password?

  Hi,

  I'm sorry, but Fetch does not support SOCK5 authentication at this time.

  Thanks,

  Any idea if/when socks5 proxy authentication will be included or the proxy format of USER User@Host FireID as the Fetch included formats for User/Host/FireID are not supported by our Proxies?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi,

  We do not have a set date for SOCKS 5 authentication, but it is on our to-do list.

  We believe that Fetch does support the "USER User@Host FireID" proxy format (listed in the Proxy type menu as "USER remoteID@remoteHost fireID". If you tried it and it's not working for you, we'd like to hear more about how it it doesn't work so we can investigate. What happens when you choose it, and could you post a transcript of the failure (choose Window > Fetch Transcript and post the contents of that window here)?

  Or did you mean there is another FireID proxy format you're looking for? If so, please describe it to us so we can look into adding it.

  Thanks,

  The "USER User@Host FireID" proxy format (listed in the Proxy type menu as "USER remoteID@remoteHost fireID" did actually work, the only extra thing I needed to do was to suppy a bogus password for the "anonymous" user (jim@). Thanks for all of your help.
