You can set the anonymous username in the squid.conf file. See:-

# TAG: ftp_user
# If you want the anonymous login password to be more informative
# (and enable the use of picky ftp servers), set this to something
# reasonable for your domain, like wwwuser@somewhere.net
#
# The reason why this is domainless by default is that the
# request can be made on the behalf of a user in any domain,
# depending on how the cache is used.
# Some ftp server also validate that the email address is valid
# (for example perl.com).
#
#Default:
# ftp_user Squid@

Note: some servers might require "anonymous", so perhaps set

ftp_user anonymous@
