Windows Explorer is also "good enough" in many cases if all you want to do is quickly download or upload a few files.

  FTP support was removed from Explorer years ago I thought?

    Even web browsers can’t do FTP anymore which is crazy.

      Why? The support was always read-only, you still needed an external client. And if replaced with HTTP(s), you get something that's stateless, uses common port numbers, requires no special treatment from firewalls, can use standard HTTP headers (encoding, caching...)...

    No. It was removed from pretty much all modern web browsers. But not from the Windows file explorer. Maybe not even from Internet Explorer, since that uses pretty much the same technology under the hood as Windows Explorer.
