I used to think that FTPS was better for downloading large files, but through more research I have found that HTTPS is actually faster and more secure. So then in what situations does FTP or FTPS actually provide an advantage over HTTP or HTTPS?

The FTP and HTTP protocols are 2 different things.
The main advantage/goal of FTP is the command set (LIST, PWD, MKDIR, SYSTEM).
It's perfect for remote file management system (like FileZilla).
