Since there is noe directory '*.jpg' it just does the ls on the cwd.
So DIR is a directory, /images for instance
It looks like you are trying to ls jpg files but this isn't grep and the regex isn't
even right, it looks more like a winders type thing.
Try this:
my @jpgfiules = grep(/\.jpg$/, $ftp->ls("/images"));
# / is the directory you ftp into like /home/foo, so you do /images for the directory
/home/foo/images
