Upload file via FTP using javascript (Chrome Extension)

Question

I have a chrome extension, so it's pure javascript + chrome api. I want to upload via FTP protocol a file.

I have understood that vanilla javascript can't do FTP request. But is there any other way ? I'm in a Chrome extension but I haven't find any ftp purpoes in the online API

And I have to clarify, I have to upload a file via FTP on black box. I don't have any control on it. And this black box is not accessible via Internet, only via local network.

JavaScript only understands HTTP and WebSockets, it does not have support for any other protocol. You need to be using a server-side language to achieve this, i.e PHP — Josh Stevenson, Apr 29 '15 at 12:57

@JoshStevenson So why it get a response ? If it doesn't support ftp request it should alert KO or throw an exception, no ? — Emrys Myrooin, Apr 29 '15 at 13:11

It seems like you can use the chrome-app-ftp library

var ftpClient = new FtpClient(host, port, user, password);

ftpClient.connect().then(function () {
   ftpClient.upload("test.txt", buffer)
});

But the socket api doesn't available in extensions. here is more information about it
