Setting up FTP PROXY for command line tools in FreeBSD and Linux is the same as setting HTTP proxy: you can make use of the environment variable FTP_PROXY.

Assuming Proxy address 192.168.0.1 and port 3128, we use:

# export FTP_PROXY='http://192.168.0.1:3128'

In case the proxy requires authentication:

# export FTP_PROXY='http://username:password@192.168.0.1:3128'

 

To make this setting permanent, add the line to your /etc/profile or ~/.profile or ~/.(bash|sh|ksh)rc.
