my squid proxy is behind the firewall.from proxy server i am able to do ftp to external domains through command prompt. but the clients who are given access in the squid proxy are not able to do ftp form command prompt. although they are able to connent to ftp sites through their browser.what should i do in squid proxy configuration so that they can get ftp connection through command prompt also.

Sounds like they haven't got a gateway set up. If your router is on 192.168.0.254: # route add -net default gw 192.168.0.254 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1
You will have to do this on each client or set it via DHCP.

What OS are the clients running? Are they able to ping external IPs? Are they able to resolve names? Are they static or dynamic IPs?

clients are windows 2000 professional.they are not able to ping external IPs because pinging to external IPs is blocked by the firewall.but they are able to resolve names.they have static ip. ftp is giving the error "connection timed out"

OK....on windoze 2000 the route command has a slightly different syntax to the linux one. An easier way would be to go into the TCP/IP properties on each client and set the default gateway to point at the router/ firewall. You also want to make sure that ports 20 & 21 are open to allow for FTP traffic.

Is your subnet on the clients 255.0.0.0? You may need to set up rules on the firewall to forward on the FTP ports to the clients.

can rules be set on the squid proxy server instead of setting up on firewall. if yes then how? firewall administration is under different afministrator.

The proxy settings will have to be put into the client software (if possible). I am not sure that the standard ftp command line client under windoze supports proxies, you may have to enable PASV (passive FTP) in order to go through a firewall.
