Hi Andrea,

We are using the squid ftp_port feature for some customers. So far, we have not 
experienced any issues.
The only downside to using frox (from which we also have migrated) ist the 
missing feature setting an upstream proxy (proxy-chaining FTP).

As Alex mentioned, squid forces passive FTP, which is the better for firewalled 
environments anyways.
You should activate automatic FTP detection on your firewall (hint: FTP helper 
for iptables) - this way you don't need to add any extra rules besides the FTP 
data connection port.


Kind regards,
