Question:

• Can I use an FTP application through WebMarshal?

Reply:

Yes, in addition to web browser applications, some FTP client applications can work with WebMarshal (6.0 and above). The requirements are:

• Use passive FTP
• Use HTTP/1.1 CONNECT method to access the proxy

For instance, the FileZilla client using "generic proxy" has been used successfully through WebMarshal.

Note:

In WebMarshal 6.1 through 6.5.3, when HTTPS content inspection is enabled, the CONNECT method fails. This issue is corrected in WebMarshal 6.5.5. For more information, see Trustwave Knowledgebase article Q12950.
