Dos ftp client through proxy server

[hackoo]

I have been using the Windows dos ftp client program to send a file out everynight with Vbscript. We have just added a proxy server to our network for security (SQUID proxy server with a Login and Password using the port 3128 ).Can the dos ftp client program on windows be setup to use a proxy server? If not is there a command line ftp client program for windows that can or can we change this function FTPupload to do this ?

Thanks You for your Reply
