In any event, the figures show clearly that ftp usage has declined to
the point that it's very much a minority thing these days. Even if the
IETF continues to provide ftp access for the time being, this decline is
continuing, so from a consumer point of view, the practical approach
would be to start thinking about migrating scripts away from it.
