Example file with hyperlink to a public FTP site
Currently creation and opening of FTP hyperlinks is supported in LibreOffice.
Given that this is an inherently insecure protocol, LO should drop support for
it in the Hyperlink dialog and the ucp backend[1] as well.
The ODF standard[2] does not require support of this protocol, so that's not a
concern.
Recently popular browsers stopped supporting the FTP protocol citing security
concerns and low usage of the protocol in browsers [3] [4].
