Summary: Nonanonymous FTP upload through proxy fails

Initial Comment:
Please, could you help me to solve the problem?

I use curl_716_1 for Win32 in Windows XP to upload file through proxy.
(curl 7.16.1 (i386-pc-win32) libcurl/7.16.1 zlib/1.2.3
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file
Features: Largefile libz
)

I use these commands to do it:
set ftp_proxy="http://my_proxy:port"
curl -T myfile.txt -u anonymous:myemail@a.eu ftp://europe.future.eu/directory/

and it works fine.

But if there is nonanonymous access required on FTP side,
I use the same commands with the proper user and pass:

set ftp_proxy="http://my_proxy:port"
curl -T myfile.txt -u user:password ftp://europe.future.eu/directory/

I get the message from the target FTP server:
<blockquote><strong><pre>Permission denied; you may only upload to an &quot;incoming&quot; directory.</pre></strong></blockquote>

Using the same configuration in program Total Commander,the upload is successfull. Obviously there is no problem in proxy.

I got a private mail from 'idea_spirit' that said the work-around Dan F
mentioned worked.

If you (idea_spirit) won't provide further details on the problem, we'll
just assume that this is due to problems with your particular proxy. That
fine with you?

Are you sure your proxy allows specifying ftp user names in this way?
Squid, for one, doesn't. You need to use the URL
ftp://anonymous:myemail%40a.eu@europe.future.eu/directory/ instead of the
-u option.

Can you show us a trace log from the "Total Commander" tool's upload and a
--trace-ascii dump from curl so that we can compare?
