Clients need to send their ftp login as part of the URL for proxied
connections.
ie. ftp://user:pass@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/
You may also be able to use:
ftp_user user:pass@
BUT, if that worked it would have the same login for all users going
through squid.

Is there any way that browser pop up for the username and password,
because the said method disclose the password to all and that could be
a security issue .......
Arun
Oh yes. I overlooked the cache_peer method.
cache_peer ... ... login=PASS
Along with a proxy_auth ACL might do what you want.

There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
