sftp is basically the same thing, but with a list of user/password (and encrypts traffic and stuff).
Does that work with a web browser?
Do I need to buy a certificate for that?

Also, all OSes have FTP and SFTP support in their own file manager already.Last edited by starshipeleven; 05 February 2020, 08:24 AM.

Consumers are usually limited to download from FTP but not set up their own.
I haven't found yet any port that is blocked on ISP level.

No, sftp runs over ssh. You're thinking of ftps (certificate).
It's funny how people are angry at google for not supporting an outdated protocol while they are most likely not using Chrome anyway.
I don't like at all the whole certificate buying scheme and the artificial expiration date they've put on.
I'm not using Chrome, but I'm using ungoogled-chromium as a backup browser for Firefox.

Unless you have already tried and it works, you can't be sure of what the ISP is actually doing.

They offer free certificates and are the choice for many opensource projects and hobbyist-grade stuff, their client was merged in Ubuntu/Debian and works on a raspi too https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-ssl-lets-encrypt/
(and is opensource anyway https://github.com/certbot/certbot so other distros ship it too)
and the artificial expiration date they've put on.

Use a dedicated application like FileZilla?
Use your OS's default file manager? Explorer (on windows), Dolphin (KDE), GNOME's file manager, Thunar (XFCE), Caja (MATE), and others probably.
I once used ftp, but it caused file corruption.

But does sftp support anonymous user login? I didn't think it did. For an organization distributing public downloads to anonymous users, ftp works great and has no issues. Many mobo vendors offer their BIOS updates via FTP site, for example, precisely because FTP works so well in that role.Last edited by torsionbar28; 06 February 2020, 12:04 AM.
