> FTP on a *non* z/os host is a grave risk, and should be disabled. Do you mean FTP client or FTP server?
FTP server on a non-z/OS host is often very useful. As for everything else, security needs to be considered. Disabling FTP client on desktop PCs is of little benefit as users can download numerous FTP clients at will.
