      I (one of the internal servers) need to get a file on an FTP server but the connection just won't work.

      I'd like to get around it and curl and cron to get it on the firewall, keep it updated and host it on its web server. I remember this was doable for WPAD files.

      [sidequestion] Waay back I was recommended /conf & /root would be upgrade-safe places to put things (like the script I'll need). Is that still true?? :O (I'm on the current stable version: 2.5.2)

      Thanks!

        Anything custom in either of those locations should be retained across an update.

        Did you try the ftp client proxy package?

            @stephenw10 No, I had it confused with the TFTP Proxy--my bad!

            Anyway, since it's only one file and I really don't want to open ports I'll use this piggybacking approach. If I need to make more connections/get more files I will try that, I already wrote it down so I don't forget, thanks for the tip!
