Yes I know how sysupgrade works. There is no reason why it would try
to connect via the FTP protocol unless either an ftp:// url is set in
/etc/installurl or an ftp:// url is specified on the command line.
ftp(1) is not restricted to just the FTP protocol, it is most often
used as an http/https fetcher these days.
