With all due respect, it's clearly a massive whole in the FTP spec, and another key example of how not to design a protocol, up there with the default (non-passive) control channel stuff. You personally not having experienced the problem doesn't really change that.

Uh, "personally"?
Will all due respect, users do not care a bit about how is badly designed the protocol or whatever other obscure internal implementation detail. They just want features and FTP has sadly still an edge in a number of use cases. Sad but true.
