And so, the reasons that Mozilla is stating their intent to deprecate it is they say that it is an old and fundamentally insecure protocol, that to bring it up to contemporary security standards would be pointless considering that you can accomplish all the same things other ways and those other ways are almost all of how it's done and I think what they're doing now is they're trying to signal well in advance that this is going to go away to get people who are still dependent on FTP to move to those other methods so that when they turn it off, they're not going to break any more people than they have to. Like even before you had reliable use of web pages, you could be using FTP and in the early days, certainly the early days of the world-wide web, you would get lots of FTP addresses. You know, it's, one of those things, it's one of those, it's one of those file transfer protocols, FTP that, of course, was used for an awfully long time and, in fact, it was a great, great tool back in the earlier days of the internet, and right up until today.Ībsolutely. So, today, we want to talk about a recent announcement from Mozilla, that Firefox, that in the Firefox browser, they are going to deprecate support for FTP.
