I usually use ftp on sites that do not require passwords. I did not see any security risk there with using ftp. I never thought about transferring information from one user account on a computer to another user account on another computer.
For that I mostly use scp, sometimes rsync, and the reason's convenience, with security a maybe bonus: in my case I generally control the endpoints, mostly there's a VPN in the path etc etc.
