  In my experience, this strongly correlates with "...and your password is l3tme1n." "Wait, isn't that insecure?" "Nah, it's fine, who would want to hack us anyway?" In other words, anyone offering FTP as an integration path in 2017 is most likely wide open for a host of other security holes.

    Some people only have FTP as a client capability. We support FTP, FTPS and SFTP, and we constantly push for SFTP with key-based authentication, but every so often FTP is really the only solution that the client is willing to pay for.

      FTP, but no HTTP(S)? I have a hard time believing that.

        For most of these clients, "FTP support" takes the form of a configuration page in their data export wizard, with fields like "host", "username", "password" and "path". If there isn't an "HTTP" checkbox, then they don't have HTTP support.
