FTP is still used by some photographers at major sporting events. The cameras they use actually have RJ jacks in the side, and they run Ethernet cables back to a router, or maybe a second operator with a computer. The cameras have built-in FTP clients, and can upload image files as they are taken. It's apparently important for stills images to appear in near-real-time on sports web sites.
