Using FTP
One annoying side-effect of challenge/response authentication schemes
(or: one-time passwords) is lack of support in regular FTP
client programs. In order to be able to communicate directly to the
proxy-server, the user will be required to employ the quote
command in the FTP client program.
For example, if you are joe and you are abroad on
host foo.bar.com and want to connect with FTP
to sunshine.cs.uu.nl you might employ the proxy as follows:
foo.bar.com% ftp -n gatekeeper.cs.uu.nl
Connected to gatekeeper.cs.uu.nl.
