This seems achievable by using ProFTPD as an FTP daemon and its mod_rewrite, which is similar to the Apache httpd mod_rewrite. That is, if any old machine (or virtual machine) can be assigned to be ftp.lyx.org, no matter that it has little bandwidth and disk space, and if it runs ProFTPD with mod_rewrite, that would be enough to redirect links like the one above to serve files from Sourceforge.
