Whenever I read FTP, I assume very legacy, very insecure protocols.
Mostly because FTP has been considered insecure and kinda deprecated since 1999, and we've had better things (eg: SFTP) since.
So, for somebody in their fourties it might be a better name, but for somebody younger, it's definitely misleading.
