Re: ftp via proxy server, for dselect

[Dean <destruss@rconnect.com>]

 Since none of the experts answered, I've got a question. Is it possible
you need a 
different site? I have no experience on proxy servers, does deselect
look at the 
proxy & then proxy does what dselect wants? Can you bypass proxy & just
let 
dselect do its own thing? Dean
