http://ftp.company.com

is an http protocol url for a server named ftp. Did you mean
ftp://ftp.company.com ?

http://ftp.company.com is acceptable (Since it starts with http://),
but ftp://ftp.company.com would not be.

In principle we might be able to add ftp support (It uses curl on the
backend which supports ftp, I think its just the validation code that
rejects ftp). We'd also need to make sure that the squid proxy
supports ftp, (Squid in principle supports ftp, but I have no idea if
its enabled in Wikimedia.

So basically, I'd suggest filing a bug. If anyone was actually
maintaining GWToolset it would probably get fixed. Given the current
situation, who knows.

The syntax for username and password in urls is

ftp://username:[email protected]/TIFF/1/1_01.tiff

This is also true for http urls when using HTTP authentication.

Timeouts would be the same as for http. Which are quite high, so it
would probably be fine on that count.
