Lonnie,
Polycom phones still can use ftp for provisioning. Not only that, they can
write log files back to the central server which can prove helpful when
troubleshooting an issue on a phone. As long as there's a way to enable this,
I have no problem with it being disabled by default.

Subject: [Astlinux-users] FTP server, default to disabled for new installs ?
Greetings,
Since the beginning of time AstLinux has an FTP server enabled by default.
It's 2017, possibly it is time by default to disable the FTP server for new
installs ?
No change for existing installs.
Additionally we can add a FTPD_WRITE rc.conf variable "yes" or "no" to allow
read-only ("no") if desired. Defaults to "yes" for read/write to be backward
compatible.
At one time Polycom phones used FTP for provisioning, (correct?) is this still
the case ?
Regardless, plain text account passwords flying over the network should be
discouraged.
Comments ?
Lonnie
