FTP is in the same class as TELNET... obsolete, redundant, less secure, etc... :)
I think that with ftp+ssl it would be slightly more secure that it used to be, aka plain text. I would think that any security site conscious site would want to use ssh based stuff, but for a plain transfer of files such as iso's or putting stuff up on a site ftp+ssl combo would do the trick.
There are many ftp clients out there, many free, but very few scp/sftp clients.
Cheers,
Aly.
