No it doesn't.
So it would be nice to have a solution, which works with every ftp
client.
I think about an option in squid.conf where I can configure the login
schema, like proxyuser@ftpuser@ftpserver for the user login and
proxypass@ftppass for the password.

I want a genric solution, so that every ftp client can use the ftp proxy
support of squid.
At the moment I have to use a commercial ftp client which doesn't
have any proxy option.

Yes, and it would be nice to configure squid, so squid extract the proxy
authentication from this string.

It doesn't have proxy support, it only sends the USER and PASS string.
