The major problem I have with ftp, from the perspective of someone trying to build networks, is that most clients generally do not do passive-mode ftp by default, despite many years of harranguing going waaaaay back to Vadim Antonov's argument for that here.
It's gets worse. At least as far as I can tell, the built in command line ftp that comes with Win 2000 doesn't support passive mode at all. That's quite frustrating. Of course I accept the answer, don't use Windoze, but unfortunately the corporate types don't.
