This can only mean that you have transparent redirection of any connection
to port 21 to your ftp proxy. lftp does not support such transparent
redirection. BUT you can specify any external address as your ftp
proxy and it would work fine.

No, lftp does not send anything to server until it is necessary. The command
`user' only selects user and password to be used in the connection.
In fact, you don't need to use this command as the default is to login
as anonymous.

It means that lftp cannot connect to your proxy.
>From what you tell, your proxy works in transparent mode and it is not
possible to connect to it directly. So you can specify any external address
as the proxy:
set ftp:proxy ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]
