 SQUID is a http proxy only.
 You can not proxy ftp through squid in a normal manner.

 The same applies for ssh.

 There is however a perl script in the public domain
 which can be used with certain openssh versions to make
 tunneling solutions for ssh through SQUID.

 I am using this solution for ssh, and it works like a charm.

 This is based on SQUID need's to support ssL for browsers
 and the connect(2) feature , well that's needed for
 other things too of course.

 It is important however to understand that ftp or ssh
 can not be natively proxied or 'supported' by SQUID.
