I dont understand why cant javascript make ftp calls?. Why do we have to make such a request using server?
Even Browsers have ability to authenticate and browse a ftp server. Maybe use browser api's to do it?

See Question&Answers more detail:osOk, answering my own question here.
I went through Mozilla docs on XMLHTTPRequest. It specifically says -
Despite its name, XMLHttpRequest can be used to retrieve any type of data, not just XML, and it supports protocols other than HTTP (including file and ftp).
So, I am satisfied with this. JavaScript can make calls to ftp using this.
