> Does freeBSD support ftp for a multicast address?

It would be really hard for any OS to support FTP to a multicast
address, as TCP doesn't work with multicast addresses.  FTP uses
TCP as the transport protocol for it's control connection and the
data connection that's used to move data between two points.
