Hi,
I have routing set up to push everything from port 21 to the squid proxy
port. This doesn't seem to work even with IE using ftp on Windows. However
on linux FireFox works fine when I configure it to use the proxy with ftp
connections. It also seems to work fine with wget, although using gFTP
seems to have some issues. I was hoping to use squid to block some ftp
sites. Is there any way to do this?
Only if you block port 21 and tell the browsers to use squid as FTP proxy.
squid does FTP proxing via HTTP, it is not a true FTP proxy (but such proxies
exist!).
Most current FTP client can operate via a HTTP proxy in the download
direction; uploads are a different issue. This should be ok for the
occasional driver download; if you use FTP seriously you should look for a
dedicated FTP proxy program.

Thanks for the info, I just wanted to make sure that I was seeing what I
thought I was seeing. I am looking to block certain ftp sites and to stop
http traffic on port 21.
Best Regards,
