Summary

FTP is a non-securable legacy protocol. When even the linux kernel is migrating off of it (https://www.kernel.org/shutting-down-ftp-services.html), it's really time to move on. One step toward deprecation and removal is to deprecate rendering resources from FTP servers and instead download them. We'll still generate directory listings, but any non-directory listing could be downloaded rather than rendered in the browser.
