No, and there will be none.

FTP requires TCP/IP, which is too  much  overhead  just  for  a  boot
loader. If you need FTP, then boot an OS which runs the download.

On the othe rhand, U-Boot offers TFTP and  NFS  for  download,  so  I
wonder why you think that FTP would make your life easier.

Best regards,
