How to test connectivity to a FTP server from a Cisco 1700 router 1

[Ivar247]

I have a client that struggles to access a ftp server.
I would like to test the connectivity from the router, but as the ftp server does not replay to ping.
How can I check connectivity?

You can't really do this from a router. You would need to access a host behind the router, try the FTP and then look at the router logs for any problems, NAT, ACL's etc..
