Yes I was hoping for a loop until successful.

I'm assuming you can already figure out if the FTP task has failed. Put
that logic in a target:
<target name="checkFTPfailure">
<!-- Do whatever to determine FTP failure.
(Using 'uptodate' task?)
If FTP has failed, set a property.
-->
<property name="ftp.failed" value="true"/>
</target>
Now you're ready to try your FTP:
<target name="ftpFirst">
<FTP .../>
</target>
<target name="ftpSecond" depends="checkFTPfailure" unless="ftp.failed">
<FTP .../>
</target>
<target name="ftp" depends="ftpFirst,ftpSecond"/>
You see your 'ftp' target will FTP your files, and failing that, will
try again. If you desire to loop until the FTP is complete, let me
know, that's a lot trickier (but possible.)
