2. Open a console window.
3. Change to the examples/Ex6_Socks5Client directory.

   run host-name username password filename proxy-server [proxy-user]

   where
   
   host-name is the address/name of the FTP server.
   username is the username of the user account on the FTP server.
   password is the password of the user account on the FTP server.
   filename is the name of the ASCII file in the current dir you wish to transfer (less than 10K in size for the trial). 
   proxy-server is the address/name of the SOCKS5 proxy.
   proxy-user is the user-name of the user account on the SOCKS5 proxy.
   proxy-password is the password of the user account on the SOCKS5 proxy.
