Re: FTP Client Help

Squid is a HTTP proxy, with gateway support to FTP and GOPHER servers.
All clients have to speak HTTP.

Generally HTTP is only supported by browsers, but I have heard rumors
that some FTP clients have HTTP implemented as well (to make them useful
behind a HTTP proxy like Squid)?

So, yes, Squid can do what you want, provided that you use a HTTP client
to fetch the FTP objects. Standard FTP clients speak native FTP and
can't be used to fetch things thougth a HTTP proxy by obvious reasons.
