Yeah, i agree. Apart from OpusFTP, AmFTP kicks the butt of every other FTP
client available on the Amiga that I've used. And, as I very rarely boot
into an Opus Workbench (I prefer a CLI startup) I am mostly restrained to
AmFTP. Not that restrained is a good word to use, it's a very good program
and it's a pity that it's no longer being developed.

That'll do fine :-) I thought that was what a proxy did, but wasn't too
sure. Ergo, if you can connect to the FTP server via the proxy, there's
nothing wrong with the proxy as it is obviously accepting incoming and
outgoing data, so it must be a problem that is server-side.
As Chris says he has the same problem with other clients, it's almost
certainly server-side. So, there's nothing that you can do other than to try
other FTP clients. If you can afford Opus Magellan 2, then try OpusFTP.
What is the server address etc.? I can check it out for you if you like
using OpusFTP.
