FTP proxies are nonstandardized and therefore there is no special support for
FTP proxies in curl, so it's not too surprising this is tricky for you
to set up. But this appears like Blue Coat is trying to make this look
like a normal FTP transaction to the proxy server from the client's
perspective, so you should be able to do it.

You're using the -x and -U proxy options, but this doesn't make sense
for FTP proxies since curl doesn't consider those special. Instead, try
ignoring the fact that this is a FTP proxy and use regular FTP options
instead. For example:

  curl -v \
  -u "FTP-Username_at_remote-FTP-Server Proxy-User" \
  --ftp-account Proxy-Password \
  --upload-file c:\data\test.pdf \
  ftp://myftp.proxy.server:21/upload/path/

From curl's perspective, this is a simple upload to the proxy server. The
proxy server will take care of translating this to commands on the real,
remote server.
