You could use Apache as a proxy, with the regime described in
http://www.apachetutor.org/admin/reverseproxies

Apache supports FTP both as frontend and backend, but I suspect
your task may be easiest if you use HTTP for the frontend, and
FTP at the backend only.

If CGI is enabled on server, you could upload a script (perl, bash...)
on the server and run it through an HTTP URL call.

Be sure tu add security access control to the CGI script so it can't be
used out of purpose to modify random fils by unknown undesirable people.

Remove that script after use to be sure.
