Thanks for your reply. I came accross this website,
http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=1415, which I think is the
one you were referring to. I am not familiar with the FTAM protocol.
So I will have to really read up on it to determine whether I can
implement this option.

Question : FTAM does not seem like a very popular protocol. How
difficult do you think will it be to program the FTP-FTAM gateway
for a java developer like me, with 1 year's experience? Bearing in
mind that I have less than a month to familiarise myself with this
specification and to code it?

I was referring to regular FTP, and the RFC number (rfc959) got lost
while I was editing my post.

Here it is:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt

You mentioned that you'd already implemented an FTP client, so I don't
suppose it should be a great deal of work to use it as described in
section 5.2.

There are also a number of open source FTP client libraries for Java,
(for example http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/) so there's really
no need to invent your own.
