Yes, I knew that it using the DHCP option would work FTP as well, but 
only if the phone has been configured for an FTP-type boot server, and 
only if you have already programmed the username/password into the 
phone. If you have to do all of that, you might as well put the FTP 
server's DNS name in there too :-)

If you don't have to change the username/password, then using DHCP only 
would be useful.
