This all depends on your FTP software, but if you're using IE to access it, you'd set the proxy address in the lan settings on the connection tab (use port 21) and to connect to the site you'd use the syntax

ftp://username:password@sitename.com
If this is just an anonymous session, then it's just

ftp://sitename.com

Good luck to you
