Re: Transparent Proxying of FTP traffic..

You *can* transparent proxy ftp traffic.

However squid cannot since it does not speak the ftp protocol (at least
not as a server - only as a client).

If you wanted to be clever you could build an ftp server which converted
ftp requests into http requests for ftp objects proxied via squid. I
don't know anyone who has done this as yet.

[This also shows up the downside of transparent proxying through squid -
you don't see ftp requests]
