macosxhints has carried a tip on how to access iDisk from behind a corporate firewall before, but I have found it is even simpler using Goliath.

First choose New Connection (not Connect to iDisk!) from the File menu. Enter the URL of your iDisk; it will be idisk.mac.com/username/ where username is your iTools account username, and then add your password.

Next click the Advanced settings, click Use Proxy Server box and enter the proxy server address (the same as you use to browse) and again the port that you use for http access. Click OK and you're away.

You can then follow the other hints posted to save the connection as a file and put the icon on the toolbar for instant access, even behind your firewall.
