I once had to provide an FTP-like interface to user directories for the website's users. Couldn't find an easy way to do it with SFTP without creating Linux users. Found an FTPS daemon that would let me call an external script for auth and set a root directory, which made it trivial (once I deciphered its slightly-cryptic docs).

So in that case, at least, I was very glad FTP(S) was still around.
