Squid *can* gateway FTP across an http-only connection to the internal net

You may actually connect to the proxy, but your traffic to/from the proxy will 
be http. Point your browser to an FTP site through a Squid proxy, and you'll 
see what I mean.

Squid is a proxy for HTTP. You may install something like ftp-gw (part of the 
TIS Toolkit) if you want something that proxies FTP.
