Does your native FTP client support FTP proxy authentication?

"How to give FTP client credentials for proxy authentication" seems like
a question for your FTP client support forum, not squid-users. We do not
even know what FTP client you use. Did I misunderstand the question?

IIRC, proxyuser at ftpuser@ftpserver tells Squid to go to ftpserver using
proxyuser at ftpuser as the user name/login.

I doubt there is native FTP proxy authentication support in Squid, but
to be sure, it would be great to know how that works from the FTP client
point of view. In other words, when an FTP client supports FTP proxy
authentication, what does it send to the FTP proxy (i.e., to Squid)?
