FTP is tool, your actions with determine legality
Maybe you can't read or have reading comprehension problems.

I'll make this clear for you. If you take for example a movie ripped from a DVD and put it on an FTP server for any anonymous user to download and you don't have authorization from the copyright holder to do this then you sir are a criminal. Read the FBI warning at the begining of the movie for details.

Now nowhere did I say the tool used, FTP in this example, is illegal. I just said if the police come busting your door down because you were stupid enough to have a public FTP server distributing copyright protected content then you deserve what you get.
