So skip the proxy part and simply craft up your own URL that makes it use this
proxy of yours! As said, there's no such thing as a standard FTP proxy and we
know of perhaps 10 different appraoches ftp proxies in the wild use.

BTW, the "std. ftp commands" are not called PUT or GET outside that ftp client
of yours. Those commands are translated to the actual FTP commands that are
actually called STOR, RETR and so on...
