A ftp URL of ftp://ftp.site.com is defined in the Internet standards as 
anonymous FTP.

This is the standard method of doing non-anonymous FTP using URLs.

To make things more complex MSIE does not appear to support authentication 
on proxied FTP URLs so the proxy can not cleanly ask the browser for 
authentication when receiving a "login failed" message from the FTP 
server. Many other browsers do seem to support this, and is used by Squid 
if you request ftp://user@host/ (without password).

Regards
Henrik
