How can I get a Mac computer using Time Machine to back up to a server using FTP?
I have not tried anything yet and everything I've search for is about 6 years old.

You can't. Time Machine officially only supports the AFP protocol, version 3.3 or later (the specific requirements list is here). You can fake it over some other file sharing protocols (e.g. SMB), but there's a high incidence of corrupted backup sets. FTP is too primitive to even fake it.
You can use arqbackup.com as a Time Machine Alternative; that will backup your files to external storages such as FTP-Server, Google-Cloud, etc.
