 From docs: "No client-side software is needed. On WinXX the standard  
smb protocol is used to extract backup data. On linux, unix or MacOSX  
clients, rsync or tar (over ssh/rsh/nfs) is used to extract backup  
data. Alternatively, rsync can also be used on WinXX (using cygwin),  
and Samba could be installed on the linux or unix client to provide  
smb shares)." (http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#overview 
)

BackupPC does not work over FTP.
