This string seams to tell us that you are only got basic rights on the server and this might be
not allowing you to create folders there. If not so, at the FTP Server, you might be looking in the
Squid logfiles if perhaps Squid is the bad one in this game.

when i connect to the ftp server without the squid , i can create files , download and upload files. when i connect through the proxy i just be able to show the folders.

[doktornotor]

Stop proxying FTP.

1.) Like @doktornotor said.
2.) Use user auth. at the proxy server and give this user more rights.

@doktornotor:

Stop proxying using FTP.

FTFY :-)

[amr_helmy]

The User has all the rights , because if i connect to the FTP server without the proxy it connects without any problems.
@doktornotor how could i stop proxing the FTP ?

There should be an exception list where you could set an entry, that then this FTP would not be any more
filtered by the Proxy thats it.

It is the most insecure protocol in the Internet, sends in plain text!
So with S/FTP or FTP/S you would be providing more security and all would be fine for you.
Otherwise could you set up one or more VPN connections to the pfSense firewall and then
the users could get access to the really insecure FTP but also over an encrypted line or tunnel!
And this would be the best way to go these days as I see it right.
