(throwaway account) We had to get/put data to a bank. Our software architect suggested FTP. He even knew we had fancy XML gateways to enforce security and validation. WHY?!?

Other story: I've add access to a FTP server which also served as a way to submit JCL at an escalated privilege to an IBM server!

Mostly "enterprise" security is a joke; it depends on the people not the technology.
