You are right, Karl, about ftp vs. http
and ipv4 vs. ipv6 being orthogonal. You are also right about the
software I'm using being unfinished. I have no guarantee that
anyone will finish it or that I can find a better alternative that
works with the other software and limitations of my server; thus
my conclusion isn't entirely nonsequitur. Either way, using
ftp.ebible.org instead of my initially-suggested plain ebible.org
for the host name improves the flexibility of what we can do in
the future without breaking things that are working, now or soon
will be working.

This comment, and what followed it, is non
sequitur.
The problem is not that Sword (or anything else) uses anonymous
ftp.
The problem is that you have a buggy ftp server that fails in
the presence of IPv6.
And it's not even failing on IPv6 itself -- network connectivity
works -- but on some authentication mechanism that is somehow
mis-tied to IPv6.
This has not a whit to do with "the gradual shift from IPv4 to
IPv6." "IPv4 -vs- IPv6" and "HTTP -vs- FTP" are orthogonal; a
change in one has nothing necessarily to do with the other.
This has to do with unfinished software such as your ftp server.
