That one is a bit of a toughy. If you have a javascript, flash, or other 3rd party download manager you can do this much easier. That is one of the big reasons they exist.
Apache FtpServer has this functionality: http://cwiki.apache.org/FTPSERVER/ftplet.html Of course, it is Java that handles the notification of completion.
So it is possible, you might even be able to rig a custom FTP handler in PHP/CI - but this is "non-trivial", so if you don't really, really want it, I'd keep looking for a simple solution that doesn't require so much to implement it.

If you're using PHP 5.2.0 or higher you could install the APC (alternative php cache), make a small adjustment to your php.ini and then track/record progress with a sprinking of javascript.
