[squid-users] Squid interworking with a ftp proxy

[Wan Kwong Yeung]

Understood that Squid is not a ftp proxy, however, it may be required to 
interwork with an upstream ftp proxy. My case is any machine must go 
through a ftp proxy for antivirus scanning before ftping in/out of 
Internet. This rule includes ftp:// via browsers too. Therefore the 
Internet facing side of Squid would need to connect to the ftp proxy and 
enter the necessary username, passwords etc. Is there any way to 
configure Squid to do this? I am comparing this aspect of Squid with 
some ftp clients, like WS_FTP, where the "firewall" (don't worry about 
the name) tab allows settings like this.

Thanks
