The problem is that SCP is several orders of magnitude slower then FTP. I use scp, rsync (on top of ssh), nfs, and several other methods of moving files around, and ftp blows them all away. You also need to build a ftp like structure on top of it. ie: I pick the files I want instead of having to know the filenames. Until this happens, I can see no viable alternative to FTP. I wouldn't be unhappy to see one, but we can't retire it without a good replacement that performs nearly as well.
