You have to change the password on the server itself. Typically in UNIX this will be the system user account. Once you had a shell session established, you would run the passwd command.

Some ftpd do allow users to change their password with the 'site' command:

glftpd:

site passwd <string>
    Change password for the logged in user.
    See "site chpass" for info and restrictions.

drftpd:

site passwd <password>
0

IIRC none of them are. You don't change password from within the ftp session.
