Wow - the dream of the 90s really *is* alive in $WHEREVER_YOU_ARE! ;-)

Seriously - it's 2014. We have better alternatives than the insecure
and awful mess that is FTP. Any company that thinks otherwise deserves
all the pain that comes with FTP ...

Anyway, Nginx doesn't talk FTP to the best of my knowledge. Whilst I'd
normally suggest a TCP load balancer for this, FTP has certain
properties which make it annoying to load balance that you have to
take into account.

This came up with after moment's googling. It might help:
