FTP problem

Hi All,

Wow was very exicited to see ftp option but ran into trouble.

Setup openssh proxy acting as socks proxy. Using this proxy to ftp to another server. Below is the log I am getting from winscp so I am not sure if the proxy is failing or the ftp at the other end of the proxy? I can see this error appear in openssh "channel 8: open failed: connect failed: Connection timed out". The proxy works fine for telnet, ssh, sftp (in winscp).

Any help appreciated

Ben.

Ok I changed the proxy to be socks V5 as opposed to V4 and it appears to work. All my other sftp proxy are V4 so a bit strange. I choose V4 usally as there is no username or password on the socks proxy.
