But nowadays a FTP server provides same contents over a lot of protocols at the same time: FTP/FTPS/SFTP/HTTP/HTTPS thats just silly. I suppose we should call NFS FTP too, because it serves files? the classic FTP protocol is a hangover from the 1970s and really should be sent to pasture and allowed to die a peaceful death. I generally use http for serving anonymous read only files, and sftp/scp for authenticated transfers -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
