Is there a compelling reason to use this instead of FTP?

I guess it has a nicer interface and you can limit the files that the other can download

Main reason I use Magic Wormhole is due to the ease of transferring to people beyond your network. No hassle setting up FTP and everything that comes with it. Plug the file in, give the other person the code and you're already transferring.

Way easier for non-technical users.
