why write them out longhand, you were just using ftp at a shell? I remember gui clients in that era that would store them. cuteftp on windows at some point mid 90s, and before that something else, maybe ws_ftp.
- dleslie 5y agoMy experience predates the existence of cuteftp. I was using gopher and telnet before Windows 3.1; I remember when HTTP arrived and ruined everything.
- hluska 5y agoI’m not op but I have a very funny, related story. In the nineties, my parents occasionally logged into my computer and stared at it for 15-20 minutes before going upstairs and turning on the television. Saving numbers in the computer box meant that I was breaking into the CIA and selling secrets to the Russians (while fornicating). Writing the same things down in a notebook was okay.

- kingcharles 5y agoAs soon as those client came along, I mostly switched. I don't remember any GUI clients in 1994. One issue was that the GUI clients failed at most of the warez folders because they contained so many special characters - lot of things like ^H^H^H^H^Hwarez etc.
