Bryon, This may not help depending on what you are looking to do, but http directory listinigs are almost indentical to ftp directory listings in your browser and I think that http is faster moving through the directories as well.
There is a new apache module that can be installed to allow externel authentication through appache (see link below) for directory access and it could be setup to authinticate to externel databases or your system accounts. http://www.unixpapa.com/mod_auth_external.html So you could change the ftp site to a http site running mod_ssl and the mod_auth_externel so that you could setup software/information repositories with varying account permisions required and the clients could attach over https.
