If you configure your browser to use the Squid proxy for FTP then it
should work.

It won't work however for FTP clients as Squid is a HTTP, not a FTP proxy.
(yes, I know this is somewhat confusing that ftp works in browsers but
not in ftp clients, but it is a fact).

If you want FTP access using FTP clients then you need a FTP proxy such as
FROX <url:http://frox.sorceforge.net/>. The FTP proxy can run on the same
server as Squid.
