Obtaining and using Kerberos FTP Proxies for Dreamweaver (Windows/Mac OS)

The University of Washington has developed kftpd, a proxy that enables Windows users to employ the built-in FTP clients contained in web-authoring tools such as Dreamweaver. Iowa State University has ported the proxy software to the Mac OS environment as kFTP, to allow Mac OS 10.4.11 and higher the same functionality. Below are links to help you download, install and configure this software to work with Dreamweaver CS3 and CS4 for Windows and Mac OS.
