Hi,

How do I configure ftp client (console ftp command) in linux to
connect to ftp proxy running on the gateway machine having access to the
Internet ?

I don't find any option when I did man ftp . Any help will be
appreciated.

You use iptables. You can't really do much more (I doubt forwarding
via rinetd would work) because ftp uses two ports, one of them unknown
a priori.

OTOH, maybe it would work, provided you used passive mode ftp only.

Why should you? What has ftp to do with packet forwarding? Hmmm ...
I guess one could implement the support at the application level too
(i.e. in the ftp client). You're right! So why not use a ftp client
that allows that? I would imagine that lynx in particular allows you to
specify a ftp proxy, since it allows various sorts of proxy spec in the
conf file ... yes it does. Look it up.

if you know the port used by the ftp proxy server, usually 21 or 8021, you
could try to connect using a full URL like the following:

ftp://ftp.yourftphost.com:8021

Try ncftp, it supports IIRC using a proxy.

Hint:
man ncftp
/proxy

Good luck
