I've worked with some proxies in the past, and you can usualy use them
without socks -- for telnet, I've had to telnet directly to the proxy,
then the proxy either just asks for a new host to telnet to, or first
asks me to authenticate to it.
For ftp, it's usualy the same deal, only a little harier if it wants you
to authenticate:
[on your box]$ ftp proxy.on.schools.network.net
user: proxy_user@external.ftp.host.to.connect.to
pass: <proxy_password>
user: external_ftp_user
pass: <external_ftp_password>
I think that was an MS proxy I used in the ftp case...
I've seen three different methods of using these proxies, and they've each
got quirks in how they want you to authenticate to them, but I've been
able to use all of them.
good luck,
k
