Actually, FTP is even harder to control IMHO because you can't block the
obvious copy program's user agent strings, and there are a lot of robo-FTP
leeches too. Even if you required a username and password, they can still
misbehave when they get on, and they only need to suck you dry once (so
kicking them off accomplishes nothing). Bandwidth rapists are a scourge.
