It's a question of cost/benefit. Ftp can be great on a LAN that's protected.
Very handy. It's just that anon ftp access from the 'Net is the most risky
way to go. It depends on what you *really need* to provide, service-wise,
and how to deliver that in the most secure fashion.
You have alternatives: teach your users to use scp, or set up an ftp
download area just for authenticated users, etc, etc.
