Hmm... if you can do it with a http server too try NSISdl in Contrib\NSISdl

I'm not Sure if there is a way to use NSISdl with an FTP, but you can try to contact the Author of NSISdl...

German:
Wenn Du das ganze auch mit einem HTTP Server realisieren kannst wäre NSISdl (Contrib/NSISdl) eine ne möglichkeit

ich weiß leider nicht ob das ganze auch mit einem FTP funktioniert, aber Du könntest versuchen den Autor von NSISdl zu kontaktieren

If you have a command line tool that can copy files from FTP you can use the !system instruction to copy the file to a temporary directory and then use File to compress it from that temporary directory.

For example:

!system "ftp get ftp://bla:bla@bla.com/bla.exe $%TEMP%\bla.exe"

File $%TEMP%\bla.exe
