You can FTP to an IP, a domain, even a windows server name if the
network is reasonably configured.
FWIW: A domain name is just a pointer to an IP address. You can almost
always use a domain name in place of an IP address - at least as long
as the host system can translate it for you using an available DNS
server.
The only places IP's are "required" (generalization) is in network
settings for things like DNS servers. For example, your router needs
an IP address for the DNS server itself because it can't lookup any
names until it know where the server is (catch-22).
