ftp proxy-server

Hello,

I am a very happy squid user, but have one problem. Some of my users
need to use the FTP program ws_ftp. In here you can setup a true ftp
proxy server, it cannot be a squid, because it translate ftp into http,
which is what the SQUID FAQ says. Another solution could be, according
to ws_ftp, to use a transparent proxy:
        All You have to do is to force your router to reflect FTP
requests (port 21)
              to a host running tproxyd (or use a firewall to do that) -
that's easy. Also You
              need to modify tproxyd to accept, rewrite and forward FTP
requests
              (transformed into HTTP) to the Squid (or any other cache
proxy).

I cannot do that, so my firewall/router administrator says.

Any idea's?
