I agree with Jason - if your FTP server does not house any CC data or
have network access to any server that houses CC data then you will
probably be able to get an exception to 8.5.8.  You must be able to
document what is on the FTP server and what security measures you have
in place to restrict the FTP server from accessing any network
resources where CC data might be stored or transmitted.  You also
should be able to demonstrate that you are staying up on patches for
your FTP server and FTP software, and that you can produce and also
monitor actively the firewall logs and server logs for your network.

If your FTP server allows anonymous access then it is probably public,
so put it in a DMZ, and follow requirement 1 as well.

Is there a PCI requirement for preventing anonymous users from
uploading files (non PAN related files, like images or catalog data)?
