You can't have a "backup" ISP to keep an FTP Server up.

You can have a backup link to the *same* ISP if you make such arrangements
with that ISP and use the equipment and methods they want you to use.

--------------------------
One other "kludge" would be to run two separate FTP machines (one on each
link) that both point back to the same "third" machine as the source
location for the Sites or Virtual Folder. The third machine doesn't have to
be anything other than a fileserver to store the files.

You could do something similar by having the second FTP Server use a folder
location on the main FTP machine as the "source of the Site or Virtual
Folder.
