VFS just fronts a number of different internet protocols via a single interface, making it look like one big virtual file system, hence "VFS". As long as you can address something via a URL, VFS can make provide you a unified interface to access it. Accessing FTP, Webdav, HTTP, etc... are done in an, essentially, identical way so you no longer need to think as much about how to access an individual protocol.
So, to your question, there is no such thing as VFS FTP. FTP is a protocol. The FTP client VFS fronts is commons-net. As such, if you are having a specific problem with FTP and you can reproduce it using commons-net directly, then don't bother with VFS because its using commons-net anyway. If things are working fine with commons-net directly, but failing when running through VFS, then there is an issue with VFS (you are the same person that Mario replied to who had an FTP problem, right?).
