The FTP report <http://weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#config_FTP> uploads everything within and below the HTML_ROOT directory. If there are files being uploaded by the FTP report that you don't want uploaded there are a few different approaches that can be used to stop the unwanted files being uploaded, the two common approaches are:
1. Stop the generation of the unwanted files by WeeWX. If the .png files are WeeWX generated then they may be plot files generated by the WeeWX ImageGenerator being run by a skin, in this case you will need to identify the skin producing the plots and disable/comment out/remove the [ImageGenerator] stanza (or portions of it if you want to keep some of the .png files) in the skin config file or you can remove the entry weewx.imagegenerator.ImageGenerator from the generator_list setting under the [Generators] stanza in the skin config file. If you are using WeeWX-WD it is possible the .png files may be windrose images generated by the WeeWX StackedWindRoseImageGenerator. In this case you can stop generation by setting enable = False under [StdReport] [[wdStackedWindRose]] in weewx.conf. weewx.conf changes will require a WeeWX restart/config reload. 2. Have whatever is generating the unwanted files save the files to another directory. In this case you need to identify the skin that is producing the files and set/change the HTML_ROOT setting(s) for the skin such that the unwanted files are saved somewhere outside of the HTML_ROOT being used by the FTP report. Remember, HTML_ROOT can be set/overridden in different places with weewx.conf; so the HTML_ROOT being used by the FTP report may be different to that set at the top of the [StdReport] stanza which may be different to that value used within anther report.
