I use FTP every once in a while, if only to grab source files from a repository. It was never all that popular and it became even less so once the Internet became popular. I've also used it to store and retrieve files on my router, just in case I want to access those files without having to tunnel into my home PC.

As for websites that allow for FTP transfers, they are few and far in between. Most of the time, the sites that do offer FTP transfers only offer it as an after thought (or as a legacy protocol).

all the cool kids used the napalm ftp indexer for warez back in the day

Yeah kinda if you work in journalism often times press releases for new products and shit come with an FTP link to a bunch of press assets. Videos and high res images and shit.

Send it? No, I only use it to download from my seedbox.

Yeah, I use FTP from time to time.
For my local network too.

WebDAV > FTP
so fuck no

I still run an FTP server just for remote file access on my NAS. Properly secured and whatnot but still not posting the address here

There is no properly secured pure FTP. The credentials are in plaintext. SFTP or FTP/S sure, but no FTP

I used it not long ago to put some games on my xbox

I used SFTP at work to send files to production

Is using ftp to update a website remotely safe?

>>55259278
as safe as anything else with password protection

I use SFTP

Sftp/FTP is used more so in local networks now. As opposed to HTTP over local networks.

>Is there a reason nobody made a better FTP, one with Searching and Metadata?
Because decentralization is generally a good idea. Why do you think CDNs are a thing?
