For ftp, this approach won't work, of course. But this is no degradation
to the current situation.

And according to my experience, ftp availability decreases. Because of
security considerations, ftp is disabled on server machines, and ssh/scp
are the preferred access methods. (I'm working in the Network Management
area for a telecom supplier)

start-remote-process would gain a clientele.
