[David Haslam]

Thank you Caleb for so succinctly expressing the point that I vaguely hinted at.

This is something that needs our urgent attention.

I've already bumped into several ISP's just flat out blocking all FTP traffic, probably because they didn't know of or care about any ongoing uses for it. With browsers dropping support, it's validity as a protocol is going to quickly go by the wayside. All existing FTP based systems should be ported to HTTPS (and only 'S') at the earliest convenience.
