As a scientist rather than a web programmer I have used ftp for a lot longer 
than http is old.

My offerings as HTML anchors, served by apache, usually point to fully 
specified ftp:// URI's which I keep in an ftp directory which is accessible via 
ordinary ftp clients. I haven't had any complaints about strange formats and 
filename extensions including .tsv but rarely .csv. The browsers, including IE, 
seem to pass the problem to an ftp plugin without complaint.
