Hi. Welcome on board. One comment: Please do not quote a totally
unrelated message and add a new question to it (as you did with
SureshR's post). If you are asking a new question or starting a new
topic, please start with a new post.

What do you mean by unable to ftp from the client systems? Are you able
to FTP into the Linux server from the WinDOS machines? Are you able to
FTP into an external machine from the WinDOS machine? Do you have socks
installed on the Linux server? Socks can act as a FTP "proxy". I don't
think Squid can act as an FTP proxy.

What do you mean by monitor? If you are running Squid as your http
proxy on the Linux server, you can configure it to do all kinds of
filtering and logging.

In Linux, the devices are available under /dev. The floppy drive, for
example is /dev/fd0. The CDROM drive is /dev/hdc (if your CDROM drive
is the master on the second ide interface) etc. These devices are the
raw devices. You need to mount these somewhere under your Linux
filesystems to read and write to the media in the devices.
In the case of a floppy you would:
1. Put the floppy in
2. [As root] mkdir /floppy (if /floppy is already not there)
3. [As root] mount -t auto /dev/fd0 /floppy
4. [As root] cp /foo/bar/file.txt /floppy
5. [As root] umount /floppy
6. Take the floppy out
