Squid will only check the freshness of cache objects upon request, so you
can't have Squid automatically refresh an object just because the source
has changed - without a user request for that object Squid doesn't know to
go and check. However, if your FTP server is prepare to abide by the
guidelines for telling a cache whether an object has been modified, when
you request the object Squid should always check its freshness and get the
new copy if necessary.

We'll probably need to see log entries and more details before we can help
further here.
