I am not aware of one.

Nope. Squid is not the same kind of FTP proxy as the TIS ftp-gw
and the SuSE ftp proxy. With Squid, you do FTP over HTTP, i.e.
a client sends "GET ftp://ftp.example.com/somefile"; and then
gets the file or directory listing back in the same TCP
connection. With "proper" FTP proxies, there is a command
channel and a data channel (as I am sure you know.) It's a
completely different protocol.
