Squid is a HTTP proxy. You can't redirect the FTP protocol to it and
expect it to work as the two protocols are fundamentally different.

You can complement Squid with a FTP proxy like frox to provide both
protocols. frox is capable of handling transparently intercepted FTP
calls.

Note: Squid can handle ftp:// requests from HTTP clients configured to
use it as a proxy, but this is all done over HTTP where Squid acts as a
HTTP->FTP gateway. This is not the same as having a FTP client
connecting via Squid (not possible, see above).
