I oppose to remove FTP support from lazylogger. We still use it heavily at PSI. In comparison to the "script" method, it 
shows the current speed in MB/s which helps us to diagnose some network problem by writing this number into the 
history. The "script" method only give you an integral transfer speed after a file has be completely written.

I'm however not sure who FTP is used in lazylogger. It goes into mdsupport.cxx and I seem to remember that Pierre 
wrote the FTP code by hand, so no external library is necessary.
