Up until recently, boot sector infectors such as Stoned, Ping-Pong, & MusicBug have required physical contact with a floppy to spread. Only with TELEDISK or SENDDISK could an entire floppy (including boot sector) be sent electronically (e.g. FTP). The only other way for these viruses to spread via FTP would be if embedded in a trojan.
