    Nevertheless, how is it possible to connect to a Plan9-Machine as
    an 'ordinary' user with ftp e.g. ?

just use ftp as per normal, but you'll need a securenet key to login.
start with securenet(8).

i am aware that some people have chosen to break telnet and ftp on plan 9
so they actually accept passwords, but that, of course, is unaccceptable.
