No. cache_peer is alwaos HTTP servers. A cache_peer not marked as a
originserver is assumed to be a proxy.

By the host name in the ftp:// URL given to Squid via the http(s)_port

By making the URL processed by Squid a ftp:// URL, and telling Squid
to fetch this URL directly (not using any cache_peer for this URL).
