Arrggh! looks like a client side issue then :(
the 'Mac' doesn't really work in this way.

default log path is %windir%/system32/logfiles/msftpsvcX/
where X is the site id.

when it said it can't be modify, no entry in the ftp log ?
are there any more ftp client on Mac ? (i have no ideas), but worth a try.
