FTP uses out-of-band data transfer.  You need a second port too, which
isn't known until the FTP transfer starts.  That's why ftp is such a
problematic protocol.

How about using scp or sftp to move the files onto the server's disk,
then using ftp on the server (through the lo interface) to move the
data into zope?  I bet you could even script it if you wanted.
