ping host via nsclient host

hello, i am implementing Nagios XI in our company and i've got the following challange.
nagios now has around 170 hosts and around 700 running services and the project is almost finished.
the last step is to monitor external FTP servers. These FTP servers are not ours, zo we can not make any changed to them.
the thing is, most of the FTP servers are configured that only a specified IP may connect to the server.
this server is an Windows 2012 server, so monitoring will be done with NSClient++.
My question:
what is the best way to monitor the FTP server connections?
(ping on port 21 is one, but i need to ensure the login credentials work so this needs to be monitored too.)
i am open for idea's!
