Let me try to save you from the frustration I experienced
It seems to be a low priority for FTP software to supply or
support IPv6 . I have been pulling my hair out after trying to reach
Chip sparling from FTP software( IPv6 product manager) .
I believe some 6bone members confirmed that FTP has put IPv6 on a low
Priority.
We had even bought a couple of sets of the product ( Onnet32 ) and it was
no good
on our tests. Although I did see some people had some luck in getting it to
work
partially.

Unless people can state clearly to me I am wrong 
( some proof would be even more convincing), I think a lot of
people share my opinion . This is based on the earlier responses I got
from the 6bone mailing list when I was desperately asking 6bone people
to help me on this product.(4 nov 97)
So don't say I did not warn you.
