    FTP/TLS seems to have attracted quite a bit of commercial interest.

    See this page:

    Lists both commercial and free ware.

    In all those cases I know of regarding setting up FTP servers, automated
    uploads were envisaged. (Sometimes without the uploading side being up
    front about the automation bit.) This meant scripts that hardcoded
    usernames and passwords, which, in time, became well-known and too
    expensive to change.

    OP might want to clarify who or _what_ will be using the FTP server.
