I see that ftp is hard to make secure.

Do you recommend that people not use ftp and say instead use http for LVSs
that are delivering files?

I don't like http for file download. At home (28k phone ppp link)
if I do anything else over the line (like load a webpage) while doing
a download, the download stalls and doesn't start up again. This is 
pain as a 10M file takes 2hrs and I have to start again.
