there are some great links here!

That one from Master of Reality was a bit confusing, an angelfire page telling me that you couldn't externally link to that page, but VoidMain's one was great! click it and see what i mean!
"somewhere.com" indeed!

I fixed it. It now goes to my "screenshots" page, where you can go to a few different screenshots i took, and not just linking to the picture.
Go there NOW!!!

how do i either configure my proxy to allow FTP, currently when i try any FTP sites i cant download anything because of my proxy server.
Or how do i use wget to download multiple files from HTTP sites, as you cannot use wildcards (eg. *.rpm) with HTTP.

You're masquerading correct?  Why run FTP through your proxy?  I only use the proxy for HTTP traffic. I let FTP through my firewall, only block HTTP. In your browser set it to only use the proxy for HTTP settings. Or if you really do want to use Squid to proxy FTP you can do that as well.  One advantage of proxying your FTP is that it will cache your FTP downloads so if you click on a link to download a file via FTP on one machine and go to another machine and click on the same link it will pull the file from your local proxy cache (VERY fast mind you).  As far as how to configure it, I don't recall having to change anything from the default squid.conf settings. You might want to change the "ftp_user" tag to something like "ftp_user [email protected]" which is what squid will use as the login password for an anonymous login on your behalf.

One helpful thing to do when things aren't working the way you think they should is to look at the logs.  Do a "tail -20" on each of the log files (they can get quite large so I wouldn't load them in an editor). e.g. "tail -20 /var/log/squid/access.log".

how do i not use a proxy with wget, isnt it "wget --proxy=off".
Maybe its not my proxy that is blocking it.
here is the message i get when i try to download something using wget from FTP:

--- Code: ---
--- End code ---
then it starts over, what do i do to fix that it is using an invalid port?
It says this with every FTP site i go to.
