I'm surprised it's even on a 2.1 box unless the box was running a
previous release and upgraded inplace with a make world. libftp was
nuked some time ago (possibly even during the 2.0.5 release cycle) as
being useless. It was originally imported by Jordan for use in
sysinstall, but libftp didn't support passive mode FTP (a MUST for
sysinstall) so PHK wrote a mini libftp on his own and we used that.

It's certainly not (visibly) in /usr/src on my -stable tree.
