Re: [squid-users] Can Squid use an FTP proxy as a "parent cache" for FTP only?

Not until someone contributes the code needed to teach Squid how to
use FTP proxies.

However, Some kind of FTP proxies can be used simply with the help of
a redirector. If the FTP proxy works by user@host proxy scheme then
you can use a redirector like this

#!/usr/bin/perl -p
BEGIN { $|=1; }
s%ftp://([^/]*%ftp://anonymous%40$1:Squid%40@ftp.proxy.server%;

The above revrites

  ftp://ftp.example.com/...

to

  ftp://ftp%40ftp.example.com:Squid%40@ftp.proxy.server/...

which translates to

  A FTP request to ftp.proxy.server
  Login as "anonymous@ftp.example.com"
  With password "Squid@"
