Hi all,

I've got the following problem : I'm trying from a Unix to connect trough a proxyserver ( not a firewall )to an external FTP( ftp.nai.com) site using the Net::FTP module.But apparently the I'm not able to pass on my login and password to the proxy When I use the Win32::Internet module, all works fine, but using when the Net::FTP module I can't get it to work

##REM a01 Download dat-files virusscan McAfee
$ftp=Net::FTP->new("ftpwinproxy.domain.be",Debug => 1)|| die "$@ can't connect\n";

$ftp->login('anonymous@ftp.nai.com','user@mail.com');

$ftp->binary();

I'm able to establish a new connection, but that's as far as it gets.And I really need to get it to work on a Unix machine , windows is not an option.Has anybody got an idea how I can get this to work?

thx in advance
