FTP and SOCKS (JDK1.3)

I have recently been assigned to a project which requires a ftp data connection through a SOCKS firewall. From what I found out so far it has native support in the JDK, but I am uncertain if this applies to 1.3 as well, since that's the version I have to use.

Anyone familiar with a solution to this?

Thanks in advance,

Kasper

SOCKS 4 support is there in 1.3. SOCKS 5 support was added in 1.5.

Cool... Thanks a lot ejp. I've been googling and googling to find some solid information about it and I didnt succeed. Would you by any chance have links to ressources about socks for 1.3?Thanks again!Kasper

It's in the JDK documentation, Guides to Features, Networking. Look for the socks.proxyHost/socks.proxyPort properties.

Sorry, it is spelt socksProxyHost and for some reason I can only find it documented in the RMI FAQ.
