I came across this issue today and I found a solution. If you are using typescript, you should follow typescript rules, so you can't use import jsftp from 'jsftp';. You must use import * as jsftp from 'jsftp'; instead.

my tsconfig.json is the following

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "./dist/",
    "sourceMap": false,
    "noImplicitAny": false,
    "module": "commonjs",
    "target": "es2015"
  }
}

Since this issue is fixed for typescript guys, i'm closing the issue.
