Yes, of course you can ;-)

Squid translates HTTP PUT to FTP STOR for ftp URLs.

Syntax for PUT is defined in RFC2616.

In short: like any other HTTP message with content...

PUT ftp://anonymous:abc@www.sun.com/path/to/file.txt HTTP/1.0
Content-Length: 10845

[here is 10845 octets of data to be stored in /path/to/file.txt on
www.sun.com]
