surely FTP has been turned off?!

do you really want your login to go over the internet in plain text ready for anyone to sniff off your wireless?

you should be using SSH/SCP/SFTP/FTPS.

I believe he is referring to potential security issues with FTP depending on the FTP client you use. SSH is another, more secure option which is availible in some packages, it duplicates the fuction of FTP, among other things.
