Okay so you're saying the bonus is that, using 1FTP, I can have a single sign-on ID which allows me to connect to multiple different FTP servers, so when someone wants to give me access to their FTP account they can do it via my 1FTP id rather than adding a user for me on their FTP account, and sending me yet another username and password.
Like OpenID for FTP (and presumably, you could accept login via Facebook or Twitter as well ... )
I get it now, sorry I didn't understand that you were proxying through to random FTP servers rather than supplying storage (a la dropbox).
One thing, though, unless you're using SFTP or SCP to connect to the destination server, wouldn't it be possible for someone to sniff network packets coming out of your servers to grab the plain text passwords for any of the myriad FTP servers you connect to? I don't really know much about the logistics of it but it seems as though your servers would become a bit of a hub for discovering insecure FTP logins to thousands of servers.
