Re: Does that mean that hosted servers are not going to use FTP anymore ?

SFTP, FTPS, FTP over SSH, SCP. It's a mess but there are options. SFTP seems to be the most common secure mechanism because it runs over port 22 and is handled by the SSH server.

Filezilla would be the most common UI client for doing this although its not the only one. I use it to upload files to a GoDaddy hosted server this way.
