I've had rstatd and ftpd disabled for a long time.  (I don't even 
remember what rstatd does, some kind of status reporting probably?)

I use the web server for any uploading/downloading I need to do on my
gateway box from the Internet.  The upload scripts are in PHP and 
protected by being in a directory which requires password validation.
Someday I'll get around to using SSL...
