Using command-line ftp, you
--ftp to the proxy server and login
--then use the "quote site" command followed by the external address you which to ftp to...
as in "quote site ftp.techrepublic.com"

In my experience, you just type ftp://ftpserver.com into the IE address bar.
Then, on the IE file menu, ftp options will appear that will allow you to login.
