heypresto is on a distinguished road
1 - FTP doesn't work through SSL Explorer because of the business with a control port and data port (20 & 21). I believe they're still working on support for this. I don't know if any other SSL VPN solutions work with FTP.
2 - Just publish your proxy server as an SSL Tunnel, e.g. localhost:8080 -> internal.proxy.com:8080. Then when users are external they must set their proxy server to localhost:8080 to get net access. However, what we do with some apps is use a DNS name that internally resolves to the actual server, but externally resolves to 127.0.0.1. As long as the port numbers are the same, it works wherever the user is, though of course the VPN will need to be established first when external.
