I have been looking into this a little more, and I am now wondering if it is possible to do this :(
Looking at QNetworkAccessFtpBackend::open() , it seems that this will only work through NoProxy or an FtpCachingProxy
Also, I have looked into some of the proxy code, and in qnetworkproxy_win.cpp, in parseServerList, it looks like the only possible returns are HttpProxys, or Socks5Proxys
Am I right in thinking that this is essentially not supported on windows? :(
