Sasha, which FTPlib are we talking about?  I don't know of any ftp
library that uses FreeTDS.  

As to your question, whether "it would make sense" to support MDTM, I
would think the FTPlib folks would want to answer that.  I don't see how
the choice would affect FreeTDS one way or the other.  FreeTDS is not
sensitive to filesystem timestamps.
