In addition to what others have mentioned, it is worth pointing out that
FTP is a notoriously insecure protocol (or at least lends itself to
security vulnerabilities).
It doesn't support encryption out of the box, so you would have to deal
with the added headache (larger or smaller, depending on implementation)
of tunneling through an encrypted pipe or using a later variant of FTP
that supports encryption but then requires support by both client and
server.
Like most vendors I've seen, Apple implicitly discourages the use of
FTP. Quoting page 201 of the Snow Leopard Security Configuration guide:
"Avoid using this protocol to share sensitive data. If you must use this
protocol, encrypt your data using a secure encrypted image."
