Not close enough. In my university, IT Services were still coming across
users running obsolete Win95 web page creation software which used plain
FTP until recently when the port was turned off on all internal servers
and blocked at the routers and switches (it had been blocked externally
years ago). That brought them to the surface, as the users called IT
Services to ask why they couldn't upload their pages any more :-)

Plus there are still many (perhaps most) ISPs whose bottom-tier hosting
service uses only FTP for users to upload files. If you want sftp, you
have to pay a higher rate.
