Due to schools supporting may users for many different types of access, most schools have enabled QOS (Quality Of Service) to reduce bandwidth usage of certian applications as well as blocking many specific services.
The network admins do not want simple e-mail and web browsing for the student population to be slow or unusable because a few students are peforming major downloads, doing online gaming or streaming audio and video. Additionally most schools size the outside Internet connection based up certain assumptions and supporting downloads, FTP, streaming, VOIP may not be on their assumption list.
You more than likely have a laptop, so I would see if you could find another network to connect to for your FTP usage rather than the schools.
Interesting this thing about learning!!
