The Proxy page lets you configure Opus to use a proxy server when connecting to a site in the FTP Address Book. A proxy server is an "intermediary" server that accepts a connection from one computer (the "client") and establishes an outgoing connection to the target server (the "host") on the client's behalf. They are often used in corporate networks to provide security or caching features. You should consult your network administrator if you're not sure what proxy settings you need to use.
Turn on the Connect via FTP Proxy to enable the use of a proxy server. When this is enabled, the options for the proxy are:
When Custom Template is selected from the Proxy type drop-down, you can fully control the connection string used to connect to the FTP proxy. This connection string is built from control codes that are used to insert your login details into the string. The codes you can use are:
You can specify separate templates for both the USER and PASS commands. See the examples given in the actual dialog for more information.
