A big security risk? A nefarious way of dropping your links on a .edu domain? My money is just old-school webmasters using FTP for downloads and there is nothing wrong with that.

Andy, I agree there's nothing wrong with the webmasters intention - just a bit surprised Google are listing FTP address URL's in it's index.

It is strange but I notice that most of the results are for files, not directories. I'd equate it with them using Apache directry indexes to build the SERPs.
