Hi, Our firewall configuration expects the below dialog when connecting manually:

ftp ftp.glb.xyz.net
Connected to ftp.glb.xyz.net
220-Firewall ftp proxy.  You must login to the proxy first.
220 Username:
User (ftp.glb.xyz.net:(none)): <proxy_user>
331 Password: <proxy_pass>
230-Proxy authentication successful.  Connecting to the server...
230-Firewall ftp proxy.  You must login to the proxy first.
230 Please use the 'user' command to login to the FTP server.
ftp> user <ftp_user>@remote-ftpsite.com
331-ftp1pdmz8 NcFTPd Server (licensed copy) ready.
331-
331 User <ftp_user> okay, need password.
Password: <ftp_pass>
230-You are user #251 of 1000 simultaneous users allowed.
230 Restricted user logged in.
=================== 

To accomplish this in Perl, we did the below: 

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new(‘remote-ftpsite.com’,   Firewall => ftp.glb.xy
+z.net',   FirewallType => 7,  Debug => 1 );
$ftp->authorize($proxy_user , $proxy_pass); 
my $ret = $ftp->login($ftp_user, $ftp_pass);
========================

But we are getting below error:
 
Net::FTP>>> Net::FTP(2.75)
Net::FTP>>>   Exporter(5.57)
Net::FTP>>>   Net::Cmd(2.26)
Net::FTP>>>   IO::Socket::INET(1.27)
Net::FTP>>>     IO::Socket(1.28)
Net::FTP>>>       IO::Handle(1.23)
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2c640ffc)<<< 220-Firewall ftp proxy.  You must login t
+o the proxy first.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2c640ffc)<<< 220 Username:
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2c640ffc)>>> AUTH <proxy_user>
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2c640ffc)<<< 530 Please log in with USER.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2c640ffc)>>> user <ftp_user>@remote-ftpsite.com
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2c640ffc)<<< 331 Password:
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2c640ffc)>>> PASS ....
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x2c640ffc)<<< 421 Proxy authentication failure.
19:24:03 Feed: 'BLOOMBERG' Error:  Unable to connect to @remote-ftpsit
+e.com

============================== 

It seems that it issued the User command correctly as expected:    

User <ftp_user>@remote_ftpsite.com (which works fine from command prom
+pt)

But not sure why it’s failing. Tried with the other Firewall types as 
+well (just in case), but no luck.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
