I personally never use nor enable FTP anymore these days given the massive number of script kiddies and serious hackers out there. Regular FTP is just too insecure ( I don't know about more recent ''secure'' FTP ). Just use ssh and if it's not available on the other end beg/tell/require them to enable it I get easily over 1000 attempts per day from hackers trying to break into my poor little colo'd server...
