Issue/Introduction

Configure FileZilla client for authentication in a Transparent deployment.

Resolution

To configure FileZilla for Proxy authentication in a Transparent deployment, use the Site Manager feature.

This configuration has been tested with FileZilla Client 3.5.1 and could change in future releases.

This article assumes that a Proxy has already been configured for an authentication method (LDAP, RADIUS, et c.) This example uses the LDAP user test2.

Access Site Manager from FileZilla GUI pressing CTRL+ s or from File --> Site Manager menu.

The example screenshot is set to connect on ftp.example.com with FTP user "anonymous", FTP password blank, Proxy user "test2" and

Proxy password "clearpass" (yes, the password will be in clear). The Logon Type must be on Account.
