  We calculate the conductance of a superconductor/ferromagnet (S/F) mesoscopic
structure in the dirty limit. First we assume that the ferromagnet exhibits a
homogeneous magnetization and consider the case that the penetration of the
condensate into the F wire is negligible and the case in which the proximity
effect is taken into account. It is shown that if the exchange field is large
enough, the conductance below the critical temperature $T_C$, is always smaller
than the conductance in the normal state. At last, we calculate the conductance
for a F/S structure with a local inhomogeneity of the magnetization in the
ferromagnet. We demonstrate that a triplet component of the condensate is
induced in the F wire.This leads to a increase of the conductance below $T_C$.
