FTP Through Web Proxy w/ Anonymous Logon is Proxyuser@ (170038)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Proxy Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q170038 SUMMARY
When you use Anonymous account to log in to a standard FTP server, and for
identification purposes, the server requests a password consisting of your
Internet e-mail address (User@domain.org). This password is filled in
automatically by the Web Proxy service when a web browser is used to
connect to an FTP site.
MORE INFORMATION
Many web browers log into FTP sites automatically without asking for a
username and password. Some FTP sites require a full e-mail address before
they allow an anonymous log in. The Web Proxy service uses the domain
portion of the host name of the local computer for the domain portion of
the e-mail address.
If no Domain Name Server (DNS) is specified, "proxyuser@domain" will be
sent as the password. If a domain is specified (for example, microsoft.com)
proxyuser@microsoft.com will be used.
To change the DNS domain name, open the Control Panel, and double-click the
Network applet. Select TCP/IP from the Protocol list. Select the DNS tab
and fill in the Domain box with the correct domain name (for example,
mydomain.com)
