Within ftp, "$ uploadtest" means "execute the macro named 'uploadtest'". 
It's not a program that you can find.

Check the filePro menu which you use to run this, and see if it is being 
passed any commands to execute which would define the "uploadtest" macro. 
And check your man pages to see if ftp on your system uses some .rc-type 
file on startup.
