I implemented IPv6 support in Yxa (an SIP server/stack written in 
Erlang) recently. The only problem I had was with the UDP receive 
buffer for IPv6 being 1024 bytes (R9C-0) while it was 4 or 8k for IPv4.

Have a look at our source code if you wish, 
http://www.stacken.kth.se/projekt/yxa/.

I haven't tried the Erlang FTP module with IPv6 though - just gen_udp, 
gen_tcp and DNS resolving stuff.

PS. IPv6 is still default disabled in Yxa, but that is because we 
otherwise risk proxying requests from v4-only to a v6-only user agent 
(or vice versa) with the result being that they can't communicate (for 
VoIP - send audio) to each other, which would not be appreciated by 
users ;)
