How can I perform FTP if our network blocks all outgoing traffic and only allows web browsing via an HTTP proxy?
The tool to use is lftp. Edit /etc/lftp.conf and configure the option:
set ftp:proxy http://<IP of proxy>:<port>
For example:
set ftp:proxy http://squid.example.com:8080
To confirm that the ftp data is being proxied correctly, check the proxy's log file.
