I'd like to encourage everyone to NOT use ftp. Use http. It's better for
servers, it tends to be more performant, it tunnels more nicely and
historically has been less of a security wreck than ftp.

Seriously, you should actually get better performance out of MANY of the
good http servers.

ftp is heavier, it eats up more processes and responds less well,
frequently.
