Squid is a HTTP proxy.
To provide SOCKS proxy capabilities to your users you need a SOCKS proxy
in addition to Squid. This can run on the same server as Squid with no
problem. Dante <url:http://www.inet.no/dante/> is a good free SOCKS proxy.
If you want Squid to connect to the Internet using a parent SOCKS proxy
then you need to socksify Squid. The tools for doing so is included in the
SOCKS software.

Each of these require their own proxy softare. Or alternatively you can
look into using NAT/Masquerade.
Squid can proxy FTP requests from web browsers only (HTTP aware clients
configured to use Squid as proxy for ftp:// requests)
