Honest question: Why wouldn't SFTP work for this use case? Most decent FTP clients I know also do SFTP. Is the encryption overhead non-trivial?

- creshal 11y agoMost dedicated clients do, but not all. Critically, not the built-in FTP clients of major desktop OSes. Windows Explorer only supports FTP, not SFTP, and AFAIK it's the same with OSX' Finder.

- creshal 11y agoExotic enough that I always have to tell users to install one, I can't rely on them having any installed. But literally everyone has an FTP(S)-enabled file manager and browser installed.
