Really, though? Are there any examples of any web pages that are strictly available from FTP instead of HTTP? If so, why? Isn’t HTTP made specifically for the purpose of transporting hypertext? Why use another, more general protocol when you can use the one made specifically for your use case?
I’m sure there’s good stuff on FTP still. I really, really doubt people are throwing SPAs and PWAs on FTP servers though.
