It's
ftp_proxy="http://proxy.domain.com:8080/"
for ftp requests
and
http_proxy=<the same>
for http.

But please note that ftp(1) can't use a (non-transparent) proxy in
interactive mode. It works fine for "ftp <URL>" as it's used by the
package system. (ftp over http via proxy can't do much more than getting
files).
