I'm not sure I understand why this is still being discussed here. This has nothing to do with NTP and distribution of the data wouldn't even fit into a UDP packet which is all that NTP supports. In any case you would need to change the protocol for NTP to do this and I would strongly oppose such a protocol change since there are other and better distribution mechanisms. It's easy to write a cron job to fetch the data from the ftp site and place it wherever it's needed. Can we now get back to NTP?
