FTP is pretty passe these days.  As much as people complain about telnet
vs ssh, I'm surprised the same argument isn't being made about ftp vs scp
or even sftp.  Same arguments exist.  I personally don't like sftp, but I
haven't had a good experience with it.  I tried replacing sftp-server with
vsftpd, and it didn't like that--kept erroring out on me.  Pretty sure I
know why, but I can say that sftp-server is not robust enough currently--NO
jailing ability, which is what I needed out of it.
