- apostacy 9y agoSo? 99% of my use of ftp or telnet are for internal network use. And if I must telnet somewhere, I know to use a tunnel. Or my traffic doesn't need to be encrypted. Why not remove netcat, as well? It opens unencrypted sockets. Or perhaps wget, since it lets you download unencrypted http? Even git has a built in ftp client. There's nothing at all obsolete about ftp or telnet. They both implement their respective protocols fully and properly. New devices shouldn't implement ftp or telnet, but that doesn't mean that having the ability to connect to them is no longer something that happens.
