Are you trying to transfer the files to your web server using http and then use ftp to store them? Or actually use SlickUpload for an ftp upload?
SlickUpload supports http upload only from the client. You could create an ftp upload stream provider to store the files on the backend if you want to do that way.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi Chris
I want to store the files on our FTP server, which is separate than our web server. is it possible to modify the code to do so. I mean using Slick Upload to upload files directly to the ftp server.

As I said in my original post, you can't directly use FTP with SlickUpload. SlickUpload is an HTTP only upload solution. It is entirely browser based, so it has to follow all browser standards. Unfortunately, the only available transport method for uploads is HTTP.
You could, however, implement a two-step upload process. Upload with SlickUpload via HTTP first to your server. Then, from your server, FTP to the second server to actually store the file. SlickUpload is flexible and configurable so you could likely create an upload stream provider based on FTP to directly stream the files to the FTP server without writing them to disk anywhere on your web server.
Let me know if that's something you would be interested in doing and we can work together on more research and put something together.
