Don,
How do you see this working? What will prevent the <property> task from
being run regardless of what <uptodate> results in?
I suspect what you want is to set the property in the <uptodate> task
alone (assuming using <uptodate> would be able to be used as the
determiner of whether the FTP task succeeded, although I'm not sure what
you have in mind it would check for).
(Or maybe I just need some coffee and I'm not seeing it...)
