You can connect to an FTP server from a JSP, that is no problem. What you
cannot do is have the client open an FTP connection to a server using a JSP.
The client would have to send the data to the JSP server over HTTP, after
which the JSP can send it on over FTP.
JSP always runs on the server, never on the client.
