let me rephrase it.
FTP behind NAT had a lot of issues.
But the protocol was never designed to be accessed by a WEB browser, that were limited to read only access.
The best way to access FTP is through an FTP client.
I don't necessarily agree with the new wave of browser security at all costs, like HTTPS everywhere, but FTP clients are far from being hard to find.

can you point me to an example?
I haven't encountered that problem since the end of the 90s. The only instance I can recall is upgrading the firmware of home routers/modems using TFTP.
