The future of FTP….
FTP is VERY useful and is not going to go away
However the functionality provided by an FTP client is now often done inside a Web browser.
- Many people that want to allow you to download files let you just click the file off a Web page
- Most Web browsers can talk the FTP protocol so you often you no longer need an external FTP client like Fetch or WS-FTP to download files from the Internet
- Generally speaking though, Web browsers are good for getting files, they aren’t good for putting them.
