If you have a working web browser, you can generally find this under the proxy setting. Internet Explorer Browser: Netscape Browser: Tools Edit Internet Options Preferences Connections Advanced Lan Settings Proxies Proxy Server Manual Proxy Config View Normally, web browsers use http proxies, so you will need to precede this value with http:// to indicate the type of proxy. Then, you will need to note the port number specified and put it at the end of the web proxy’s name, separated by a colon. For example, http://web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088 You can set the ftp_proxy value using your shell: sh export ftp_proxy=http://web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088ksh export ftp_proxy=http://web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088setenv ftp_proxy=http://web-proxy.mycompany.
