FTP through proxy problems - Squid (centos)

I am trying to work with a software vendor to set up software that uploads specific data via FTP to their facility.
This is coming from a satellite facility that connects through a proxy (Squid) located at our main location.
We have been troubleshooting in Filezilla to make the connection, but are not progressing well.
Below is the connection log in Filezilla.
The vendor has suggested that I add their IP address to Squid to allow two way communication.
Is this correct and if it is, how do I add it?
I am a novice at configuring Squid and I have spent time googling it, but I have not had much luck.
FileZilla log:

Any help would be appreciated.

I just ran a quick search, and havent tested this;

add the following in the squid.conf

acl SSL_ports port 443 21   # in my default squid.conf only port 443 is in.  just add 21
acl ftp proto FTP
http_access allow ftp


give it a shot.

Is there anyway I can know what these ports are and allow them in Squid?

When ftp'ing from the main facility there is no problem.  No proxy there so i think the firewall is ok.

Should I add something like this to my squid.conf:

acl SSL_ports port 1024-65535
21 1024-65535 443
