Subject: [PATCH] Fix FTP connection timeout: add 15s timeout and accept
 self-signed certs

The FTP client had no timeout, causing Vercel function timeouts on
connection issues. Added a 15-second timeout to both pollFtp and
testFtpConnection. Also added secureOptions.rejectUnauthorized=false
to prevent TLS failures with self-signed or non-standard certificates.
