Sadly FTP didn't seem to have a smooth TLS transition. There is FTPS (among SFTP), but I have rarely seen it in use. I think it will survive as a protocol as a fallback mechanism. Ironically I used FTP on a smartphone here and there because Smartphone OS are abysmally useless. Don't get me started with your awesome proprietary sync app, I don't do trashy and they all are. Otherwise I do everything today through scp and http, but it is less optimal technically. It just happens to be widely available. FTP theoretically would provide a cleaner way for transfers and permission management.
