No there aren't.

So!?

Perhaps, but waiting for the rest of the world to stumble over their
site by port scanning is a pretty stupid way to go about it.

> How do you find these servers? 

Scanning every port on the planet is not a reasonable method.

> By scanning a range of IP numbers for open port 21. 

Scanning "a range" ??? You're an idiot.  What makes you think "a range" 
will have an anonymous ftp server that has anything you might be 
interested in?

> If they do not want you to connect they should tighten their security.

It's not a question of whether or not they want you to connect.
