| these days FTP client/server implementations are picky about endpoint
| address, and we need to use the same address pair for control and
| data connection (to avoid FTP bounce attack).
Yes, fine. (Personally I still like 3 way FTP but that's not important
here).
| therefore, FTP client
| side shouldn't use temporary address for the control connection.
No, temporary address is fine there, unless the overall FTP session will
last longer than a week (the valid lifetime of a temporary address using
the suggested timers)
| (apparently, server side shouldn't)
Yes, that one is kind of obvious - temporary addresses are for a form of
identity hiding, it makes no sense to hide the identity of a server.
But this isn't because of deprecated address rules, just common sense.
