Not entirely true. From what I can tell ftp-proxy does support parent
proxies, but perhaps not very obviously so.
An FTP proxy is looking like and FTP server to the clients but accepting
somewhat strange logins or passwords. This means that any FTP proxy which
supports authentication and can be set to connect to a single specified
FTP server also by definition supports parent FTP proxies.
