But I can understand why squid can intercept the https connection from
the client, and after that doesn't make a https session but a http
session to the final server

ftp://ftp.toto.com), the tcp connection was established but after
that, nothing

Squid can't handle ftp connections with a web browser ? I know he
can't handle native ftp client
