Should clients be allowed FTP access?

Question

Network administration

Hello. Should you allow clients on shared hosting to access their sites via FTP when SFTP and SSH are available?

Answer 1

It's worth it, not everyone knows what SFTP is and not every client supports it, unlike FTP.

Answer 2

From the point of view of FTP security, this is a sieve.
From the point of view of some clients, this is convenient because it is familiar to them, I do not give FTP anywhere, they tolerate nothing
