I'm trying to use WS-FTP Pro on a Win 98 client behind a Msoft Proxy 2.0 server, which is also functioning as a firewall. I keep getting a connection refused. I have set
WS FTP in normal and passive mode with no luck. I also cannot FTP from a DOS prompt. In IIS 3.0 under Internet Service Manager, looks like FTP can be configured from within the WinSock Proxy service. Should FTP be a proxy service by itself? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

you will need to do two steps. You will need to enable FTP in the WinProxy settings on the Proxy server, then you will also need to install the WinProxy Client on your Win98 client.
You should be ready to roll once you do those two things.

Tony-
That was the answer. As soon as I installed the Proxy client, everthing worked fine. Thanks for your help.
