'nohup' runs a program, which is immune to hangups.
but, a much nicer way is to use 'screen'. you could start a screen
session on the remote host, start your ftp program in it, detach the
screen window and close the SSH connection. later, you can login to
the host again, re-attach your screen session. and, tada, you see your
ftp program, as before. :]
