It’s up to the client to support warnings about password expiration (that true in general, not just where LDAP is involved). I have no idea how, or even if, WS_FTP, Filezilla or pGina support that, but I suspect they don’t. In my environment I’ve written scripts that will send emails when a password is close to expiration, since the clients many of our users connect with will never do it.

Subject: Question about expired/expiring passwords
In our environment, we have users that authenticate to our LDAP server in a few ways:
1) they log into the server directly using SSH via PuTTY;
2) they log in to our server using FileZilla or WS_FTP using SFTP;
3) they authenticate their account via the LDAP on a Windows server using pGina
In method 1, they are prompted to change their password if it is expired, or are given the warning about the password will expire in X days. How do I have the user get a similar warning/message when connecting via methods 2 and 3? We have a lot of users who get themselves flustered because they think they have the right password, but because they're never warned or given a message, they think its wrong, put in a few more passwords, and eventually lock their account out.
Any ideas?
