Yes, you could make a duplicate of the "FTP Directory Listing" service and edit it to display the contents of that file, instead of doing a directory listing.
This should work, allowing looking at the contents of any file on your server:
ftp -n {Domain} << EOF user {Username} {Password} cd {Directory Path} more {Filename} EOF
