> Is an extra feature activation necessary in order to use FTP?

Yes - FTP is one of the “Internet Protocol Features” that you have not activated.

WIP just gives you the basic socket-level TCP, UDP, and IP - the higher-level protocols like HTTP and FTP are extra.

You now need to go back to your distributor, pay the appropriate fee, and receive the activation key.
