Linux is not commercially driven, at least, not where the desktop user is concerned, so if you all continue to support the likes of Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon et al, then you can look forward to a future, where you are robbed more and more, for less and less, as it is taken away from you. Wget has always been supplied with Linux as a standard, and as far as I am aware, there are no plans to remove it from any distribution.
Linux comes complete with “wget” which is an ftp transfer programme used in the terminal. While you’re at it, why not look into using Linux as an alternative OS ? The subject covered here has absolutely no relevance to Linux users. If the great Satan is not supported it will die … right ? The short answer is Money, Power, and Influence, and in this instance you can probably lay the blame at Google’s feet, one of the reasons why I De-Googled my internet life a long time ago, perhaps you, dear reader, should do the same. These sorts of measures seem to be part of an incremental, creeping, encroachment, slowly removing what many users have taken for granted for many years, and it begs the question, why ? Switch to another browser which does not have this restriction ? … well you could, but its a damn inconvenience, just to complete a transfer, you find yourself thinking, I have to have two browsers open to maintain the range of capabilities, which were previously available to me in one browser ! Is there such a thing as an ftp transfer addon or plugin ? bearing in mind, this could be even more insecure than the native Mozilla protocol, this is probably not a good idea. They say, that the protocol is inherently insecure … well as such, I think everyone instinctively knows what that means, judging from the comments on this page.
#HOW DO I USE FTP ON FIREFOX VISTA DOWNLOAD#
Switching to another browser, simply to make an ftp upload or download does not exactly foster good relations between the users, and the Mozilla developers.
I’m not really happy about this, it could cause a lot of irritation and annoyance, because of the inconvenience this poses. Brave is, at least, independent and fighting to keep it that way. You cannot serve two masters: it’s either Google or security/privacy. Honestly beginning to feel that the Brave browser is becoming the browser Mozilla always pretended to be. Mozilla seems to want to become as generic as Chrome is. Not too long ago Mozilla also killed built-in RSS rendering. Mozilla’s response: yes, master.Įveryday there are less and less reasons to use firefox. > Discussions about ending FTP support date back to 2015 when Google and Mozilla engineers started to discuss the removal of FTP from the Chrome and Firefox web browsers. Since there are better standalone ftp, sftp tools available, browser support isn’t a huge deal unless you regularly visit older pages that link to ftp resources (like the examples given above). Even when I uniquely identify the file listing, these files (often linked to via numerous older webpages) never display. I used to publish small utils on DOS-based archives (such as Simtel mirrored in many places). Google’s mindset on ftp has been evident for many years: search would no longer (or very rarely) display older sites that linked to ftp archives. Lots of older non-app ftp archives too for things such as MODs, midis, and many other formats. There are still lots of older ftp archives (linked from webpages) for OSes such as DOS and others. Mozilla plans to enable FTP in Firefox ESR 78, out in June 2020, according to this bug. FTP will be disabled by default in Firefox but Firefox users and organizations may re-enable support manually for some time after the release. Mozilla aims to disable FTP support by default in the Firefox web browser when Firefox 77 Stable lands the version is scheduled for a June 2020 release. Discussions about ending FTP support date back to 2015 when Google and Mozilla engineers started to discuss the removal of FTP from the Chrome and Firefox web browsers.īoth companies limited some functionality related to FTP already Mozilla started to block resources from FTP loaded on webpages in Firefox 61, and Google dropped proxy support in Chrome 76.Ī new option to disable FTP support in Firefox was added in 2018 by Mozilla but the flag was never enabled by default it did allow users and organizations to disable FTP support individually though. Mozilla plans to disable and later on remove support for the FTP protocol in the organization's Firefox web browser this year.
