FTP browsing

FTP browsing

Overview

FTP Browsing section lets you configure how the FTP connections are established, and results are displayed.
SafeSquid can provide support for anonymously browsing FTP Servers, anonymously.
This can be useful when the client (some of the older web-browsers) applications lack the support to directly access FTP sites.
Such Internet Clients may also set SafeSquid as their HTTP/1.1 Proxy to access FTP sites
The settings made here apply to all requests for ftp:// URLs.
