Currently only accessible through google dns until it propagates further.

Propagates, but 504.

Back online, had to cut off the directory listing for each one of them unfortunately, but as a bonus now it's much faster.

Nice work. Maybe add a link to ftp:x.x.x.x to open in a new tab for further exploration.

It might just be my luck, but the first 4 I got were completely empty.

It depends on luck, and there are indeed many empty ones. But I have found both full of content(Photos, Music, Films, and software sources), and even some servers where(even though I shouldn't) I could write or edit data.

The servers on this list allow anonymous logins, which is not the same as being unsecured.

Not all of them are deliberate.

Still doesn't mean they are insecure. As long as they only allow read access.
