Description:

The last available version of lftp is not linked to socks library (ldd `which lftp` | grep socks is empty). Thus, you can't use SOCKS_PROXY variable to use lftp with a SOCKS tunnel (http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.lftp.user/1153). It would be great if this was possible.

What about adding --with-socks5 to the ./configure line to enable SOCKS support in SOCKS_PROXY ?

Thanks

This would require to move dante as socks library to move to extra. I don't want to maintain dante and guess this is a not widely
requested feature in lftp.

I'd say use abs, add dante to the deps and rebuild the pkg with something like this from configure --help:

--with-socks[=/path] build with SOCKSv4 library
--with-socks5[=/path] build with SOCKSv5 library
--with-socksdante[=/path]
build with SOCKS-Dante library
