Personally, I can't think of a good reason to keep FTP (anonymous or
otherwise) around.  There's almost *never* a case where I want anonymous
visitors to upload to my side, and friends can use SFTP.  I'm starting to
prefer HTTP for distributing files, since you can use any sort of high-level
authentication you want and come up with per-file algorithms to determine
who can download what.
