They don't deserve a knockout punch any more than FTP or Gopher deserved it, but unfortunately commercialisation of the web and the merging of static pages into dynamic apps (feature creep) and one gargantuan application (the browser) to interface with all of it and one gargantuan entity to discover it (Google), means that minnows are going to have to go with the overall flow.

- Kliment 9y agoI understood it to mean that FTP has mostly been replaced by HTTP, through no fault of FTP itself, but rather because that's what serves the interests of the people who implement things. That is, FTP still works, and works as well as ever, but its usage is dropping.
