Squid Proxy server - FTP access problem


I don't remember ever having this problem before with Squid. I've been using it for many years now but with this new server I just built I can't download from a FTP site. I've tried several so it's not the site it's for sure my FTP, also it works fine if I bypass Squid.

the error in the browser is:
Code:
An FTP protocol error occurred while trying to retrieve the URL: ftp://ftp.fedex.com/pub/us/software/FedExShipManager_2361.exe

Squid sent the following FTP command:

    Connect to server data port

The server responded with:

Your cache administrator is root.
I've edited the .conf file and added the following and then restarted:
Code:
acl ftp proto FTP
acl ftp_port port 21
http_access allow ftp_port CONNECT
It looks like my older version of Squid works fine (SQUID 2.6.STABLE12)but my newer versions (squid/3.1.0.17) don't. Also the squid.conf file is only just a few pages on the newer version where as the older one is the typical huge size.

Any help would be great
Thanks
Eric

It looks like the reason for the smaller conf file is due to all the comments being removed. Still stuck as to why FTP seems to be turned off by default in this newer version of squid.
