Unfortunately, TIdFTP does not provide any direct way of sending a keepalive
command.

Perhaps. The only real downside would be a timing issue to worry about.
When you send the NOOP, you can't really receive it right away, or you might
end up recieving the response to the original STOR command instead. But if
you don't receive it right away, then you end up with an extra response on
the control channel that needs to be removed before you can safely send any
future commands.

No, since the command has to go over the control channel, not the data
channel.
