Robert:

Secure Zope connections have been exercising us of late too. You
should find some pointers in http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/dwhowto

This doesn't directly solve your ftp security problem - but see the
links after the "Useful to know" bit. The overall recipe does 
offer an alternative way of keeping your security people happy,
however.
