FTP via FTP PROXY

Hi cURL/Daniel,

I have tried to send file via FTP_PROXY using the latest curl build 7.18.2,
but no luck.
The setup:
1. behind corporate FW
2. having special FTP proxy server (something like a trojan horse)
3. the ftp proxy is a ftp server listening on 21
4. connecting to the destination Internet ftp server using "USER
login_name_at_Internet_ftp.server"
5. This will open a channel and handout the connection to your local client.
6. followed by std. ftp commands e.g. PUT GET QUIT

I suspect this is not yet in the cURL as it tries to go via HTTP
proxy/connection only, where this is not the case.

Can you confirm? ... or is there a trick how to get around a such FTP
server. FYI, the WS_FTP does handle this.

Thanks, in advance,
 norbert
