FTP

Oh FTP. You dog, you. There was once a time that I'd use you for uploading things to a webspace, but those days are long gone, and have been replaced by your much newer (and more secure, might I add) brother sFTP - the S stands for 'sassy' or is that 'sexy' or even 'secure'? I don't know.

FTP would have to be one of the oldest protocols for doing things on the Internet (yes, you need to go back that far when describing it; things like the actual serving platform of the Internet [WWW or WorldWideWeb] are called protocols, email has its own protocols) and is for the most part still in active use.

But, I can safely say that sFTP is so much better. S. Sssss. Ssssssss!
