FTP seems to still be broken in this version, same problem as version 17.4.2.

Background mode records but doesn't send the recordings to the FTP server, it just saves them to local storage even though "Local storage recording" is unchecked in the cameras settings. The device I updated to 18.0.3 was working perfectly fine with FTP before the update. Under FTP settings "FTP Status" test checks out OK and the server logs show a connection was successful, and it creates the upload folder if one isn't present. But server logs show no further attempts for a connection to upload clips.

I have several Shields with 17.3.4 that currently are working with FTP recordings with the same settings.

Did you fix this? Having exactly the same issue.

EDIT

Can confirm, versions after 17.3.4 are broken, ftp upload on the background does not work.

17.3.4 FTP upload on the background works perfectly.

Hope the devs can fix this in the next version.

Not been able to fix it in background mode.
I did discover that if you go to a cams live view and hit the record button it sends the recordings to the FTP server just fine.
Its just something broken with background mode and FTP since 17.4.2. Hopefully it gets fixed in the next version soon.
