   yes... wildcat is apparently listening on the ports and generating the proper   
   traffic for the connections and their protocols that it receives... generally   
   speaking, though, with a browser, you put in the protocol to use... if you are   
   going to a web site, you use http or https... if you are going to a ftp site,   
   you use ftp or, if your browser and the destination server support it, ftps...   
      
   eg:   
     http://some.site.foo   
      ftp://some.site.foo   
      
   the critical part, beside having the address correct, is the protocol leader   
   on the left of the "://" delimiter...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
