Hi!
You can use portcheck subagent to check that network service is actually responds. There is short documentation: http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/Subagent:PortCheck. There are no FTP support, so you can only check that TCP connection can be established.
Yes, I did something similar. I just used ServiceCheck.Custom(IPserverFTP, 21) and the threshold is "=0". So, till I get 0 by the agent, the port 21 is open and then the service is up; once I get 1 the service is down and the alarm is raised.

Another option is to define external parameter on one of the agents to connect and check FTP server. It could be something like this:
ExternalParameter = FTP.Status(*):echo quit | nc -q1 $1 21 | grep '^220 .*' | wc -l
After you add this line to nxagentd.conf and restart agent, it will provide new paraneter FTP.Status, which will take server DNS name or IP address as argument, and return 1 if 220 got in response, and 0 otherwise.
Best regards,
Victor
This solution is much smarter and works with the same logic of the first one. So, I'm twice happy: my ideas where right and I obtain also a better solution. Many thanks Victor!
