I realise that I didn't broadcast this to everyone. I wouldn't want
anyone to think my problem has been solved :-).

I have an ftp proxy. I know the name of the computer, and the port used. My problem is, I don't know how to use it :-). With WS_FTP under windows, it's easy. With netscape, all I had to do was set up the ftp proxy in the advanced section. But what do I do with plain-vanilla ftp, or xftp, or xdir, for that matter? Is there a way to set the proxy under the networking preferences, or is there a command-line option? I realise this sounds very basic, but I've never been faced with this problem before...
