AppEngine's design is prejudiced towards HTTP requests. If it is even
possible, which I doubt, you'd have to write the FTP server
implementation from scratch, and you'd be subject to AppEngine's
strict limit on the amount of time that a request has to be completed.

A bad, bad idea.

It wouldn't work anyway. App Engine won't let you open a port to listen on, and even if you did implement this App Engine will format your response like an HTTP response.

Blobs will work fine, but what you'll need to be aware of is the 1mb limit. You'll have to break your file into 1mb chunks and reassemble them into a larger file. We will be rolling out support for large files soon per our public roadmap:
