The difference between tftp and 'real' FTP servers is it does not ask for a 
login- that's why it's used for diskless clients and PXE net installs. ProFTP 
(and all other FTP servers) require a login authorization. This is usually 
invisible to the end-user on public FTP servers, but it's still there. So I'd 
look for how the phone authorizes itself to the ftp server.
