I don't understand, what FTP client are you using.
You SHOULD not use [ftp].subdomain.com
try from the command line
ftp subdomain.domain.tld

Terchnically NO, practically yes.
When you ftp you are FTPing to the server, never to a domain.
It is when you login that proftpd will send you to your chrooted area, 
using your username.

Another reason why, 
I create my subdomains as users.
