FTP servers on file hosts - hows that so bro?

[Putin]

Sup. Folk. Hey.

We allow FTP (File Transfer Protocol) access to your files.

I see this on file hosts... lets take FileServe for example.



Now what I'd like to know is how can they offer that... because creating an FTP server means allowing people to transfer files - any file... surely this is a security risk?



Also, how do file hosts manage to support them with storage, like how to know if you can have 1000 users on one server or if they will upload lots of files so you can only allow 100 users etc.



Hmm... answers to this would be appreciated.
