This was answered by Steve Williams quite a while ago:

First of all, not all proxies or firewalls are the same. So have a look at
product documentation. However, most products support a transparent proxy
which doesn't require any special programming:
1) Instead of connection to a remote FTP server, you connect to the proxy
2) User name is replaced by user name, followed by '@' sign then followed by
target remote FTP server host name.
3) Password is usual remote FTP server password.
4) Most require using Passive mode.
Example: You want to connect to ftp.borland.com, using anonymous connection,
company firewall/proxy is running on host named proxyserver.
FtpCli1.HostName := 'proxyserver';
FtpCli1.UserName := '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
FtpCli1.Password := '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
FtpCli1.Passive := TRUE;
