How to Access an External FTP Server from the MPIA Science Network
Because of the security measures in place on the MPIA internal wired (i.e., “Science”) network, accessing an external FTP server requires following a special procedure.
From the command line:
ftp ftp-proxy.mpia-hd.mpg.de
username: anonymous@ftp.server.address
password: your e-mail address
OR
ftp ftp-proxy.mpia-hd.mpg.de
username: username@ftp.server.address
password: password for username on external server
Within an application (e.g., Filezilla, CyberDuck, etc):
Ensure that the proxy settings for the application include:
Proxy Name = ftp-proxy.mpia-hd.mpg.de
Port = 21
Passive Mode = YES
