FTPPM.exe used to work, but now opening it as Program shows the properties notebook.
Can I make it work again, or is there an alternative app?

Try running it from a command window and see what error you see.
Perhaps you have a missing or incompatible DLL causing problems.

That crashed OS/2.
I found that it works in AOS, so it seems that the relevant OS/2 DLLs are either
corrupted or lost from view.
I dont know how to determine the DLLs that FTPPM depends on.
Comparing contents of \TCPIP\DLL in OS/2 and AOS, one file (cfg2natv.dll) has a
size difference of 2 bytes with the same write date and time.
Is this corruption given that the folder must be in view for TCPIP to work at all?

Do you have PMdll - pmdll.exe - installed? If not download this - >http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/download/pub/os2/util/system/pmdll-2.12.zip
When installed simply drag'n'drop ftppm Desktop program object onto the
pmdll Desktop program object to see if there is a reason ftppm is
failing to run.

I compared reports on FTPapi.dll for the OS/2 (failing) installation and the AOS
(working) installation.
In AOS there were 7 first level branches, and in OS/2 there were 7 rows of red
asterisks. Coincidence?
msg etc. They must be visible from everywhere else in OS/2, so why not from FTPapi.dll?
SearchPlus reported that the instances of this file in OS/2 and AOS had the same
size and date.

What do you think?

And the reported size was? I have to guess that the size was 124,419
and that the bldlevel was:
@#IBM:TCP/IP 4.3#@##built 14:11:09 Sun May 18 2003 -- On
TCPBLDSRVR;0.1@@ TCP/IP for OS/2: 32 BIT FTP API
You need to use lxlite -c:exemap to see this. The kids at IBM messed
up the bldlevel strings when they did this build of the TCPIP
applications.
What version of OS/2 are you running on the failing system?
What does a binary compare of the two file report?
Have you made any changes to your OS/2 system recently?

Does the file still exist on the hard drive?
