I can't help you with your Squid issue; maybe somebody else can.

Regarding the vi commands, there is plenty of documentation online for vi and its derivatives (Vim, nvi, etc.). See for example

How to detect proxy server automatically

I use method one and it works for all my M$ boxes with the built-in apps and a few multi OS browsers (firefox). I wish opera would support this type of auto-config.

Have Fun!

exactly, Irudeboy suggested a valid solution, try redirecting port 21.

I am honestly not sure if it will work as FTP is known for weird behavior (example: you can tunnel all protocols but FTP) but that is the first thing that comes to my mind.

If I could have sex each time I reboot my server, I would definitely prefer Windoz over Linux!

All proxy-able protocols work with squid; HTTP, HTTPS, FTP (Active and Passive) and many more. I didn't do much configuring except for blocking sites based on MIME types and URL's.

Have Fun!
