FTP, while nice, would require an upgrade to the underlying Windows CE operating system. Therefore, it will not be done unless CE is upgraded; if CE ever is upgraded and FTP does not appear, then is the time to beg HW, but the current CE4.2 will not support it.
As to just using a laptop or a netbook, Peter is right; the main reason I use my bn instead of a laptop, even though a laptop would be much faster and would run all the software I need, is that my bn has a braille keyboard and, almost more importantly, an integrated Braille display, all driven by a very simple menu interface with the best context help I have ever seen (try getting help in any part of Windows without being taken to a complex webpage that never tells you what to do). I also like writing Javascript code; it is fast and easy to write, and the Braille lets me develop and debug easily, plus do my work anywhere without the need for headphones or a laptop plus an external display.
