This is a really toxic attitude in the open source community where when asked a question the answer is: "you're doing it wrong, just do it right". If I had a choice I would, but unless you have a few million dollars to give us to refactor 30 years of technical debt, please answer the question.

> you're doing it wrong, just do it right That's not how I wrote my comment above, I gave you alternatives. > If I had a choice I would You have choices, many. > unless you have a few million dollars to give us to refactor 30 years of technical debt How is using FileZilla a technical debt? What are you requiring from FileZilla that you need a few million of dollars to refactor code? What kind of code depends on an external FTP client to work? If you give more details about why your company has such a weird technical debt, maybe I or other can give you more options to switch. > please answer the question I did, you asked for alternatives, I gave you Rsync and SCP.
