You can set the proxy parameters within /etc/wgetrc for wget. Or in
/etc/lftp.conf for lftp.
Generally the system variable is http_proxy and ftp_proxy. Either set
them globally for all system users i.e. in a file like
/etc/profile.d/proxy.{csh,sh} or just for your own environment in your
shell's profile.
export http_proxy=http://username:passw...@proxy_address:port
export ftp_proxy=ftp://username:passw...@proxy_address:port
username and password are optional and depending from your proxy policy
and settings.
