Frequently Asked Questions.

Most companies will establish firewalls to prevent internal users from accessing these secure sites. Proxy servers allow these same users, however, to bypass a firewall. If using a Proxy server, this information must be manually "told" to the browser being utilized (or even a Windows-based software application) by going to the settings portion of the browser's top tool bar.

FTP
