Can you use ssh?  I personally never use nor enable FTP anymore these 
days given the massive number of script kiddies and serious hackers 
out there.  Regular FTP is just too insecure ( I don't know about more 
recent ''secure'' FTP ).  Just use ssh and if it's not available on 
the other end beg/tell/require them to enable it

I get easily over 1000 attempts per day from hackers trying to break 
into my poor little colo'd server...
