Not true. A user profile with STATUS(*DISABLED) cannot be used to sign 
on via FTP. Try it and you'll receive.

530 Log on attempt by user XXXXXX rejected.
Login failed.

Note:- this is the same message sent for an incorrect password so 
ensure you type correctly.

I tested this on OS/400 VRM440 just in case it was an omission 
corrected on later releases. This system also has no FTP exit programs 
installed. I seriously doubt it has ever been possible to sign-on using 
a disabled profile.

Perhaps you meant something else by your use of 'disabled'?
