Yeah, it’s easy to get nostalgic about old stuff, particularly when the old stuff was legit good. But man, FTP and telnet needed to die in a fire.

- berti 8y agoWhat do you think of TFTP then? All things have their uses. Outside of the valley, a ton of things don't live on untrusted networks.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoSomeday when there's a universal way to share files between people on a network without passwords FTP might die. So far it is the least painful way of having a place people can just dump files to and grab files from without authentication.
- jenscow 8y agoUnfortunately, as of today, the majority of "computer operators" struggle to share a file if it requires more than a single operation of "drag/drop".
- walrus01 8y agoIn 2018 teaching totally non-technical users to effectively use Dropbox and OneDrive is even a challenge, and those companies have a great many staff positions between them whose full time job is UI design and usability.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoWhy are you so condescending towards users? Maybe pretending that everyone who uses a computer and isn't a gerybeard is a drooling moron is part of why computers suck so much in 2018.
