Why would you *want* to? FTP handles passwords in clear text. FTPS can
be done more securely, but there are so many different technologies
called FTPS that it's confusiong.

In general, I've tossed FTP out the window and go with HTTPS based
access, including WebDAV over HTTPS which works very well for uploads.
It's the technology underlying Subversion source control web access,
and it's a lot easier to deal with the firewalls and managing web
based access.
