The cat kept running away so we took her to live with my uncle in Iowa. She had plenty of room the run around and kill things. We visited a few times but then eventually she disappeared.

I bought a license to FlashFXP. It was nice to know if I needed an ftp client in a pinch even recently I could quickly grab a copy and unlock it.

I remember people in my dorm using something called FSP to fetch files, in the dim times of the mid-1990s, but I can’t for the life of me find anything about it. Was it real or were they just fledgling weeaboos trolling me? E: quote:

Apparently Google is removing FTP support from Chrome in version 82 https://www.ghacks.net/2019/08/16/google-chrome-82-wont-support-ftp-anymore/ quote:Google Chrome 82 won't support FTP anymore according to the recently published "Intent to Deprecate: FTP Support" document by Google.

Everything is now cloud based like Dropbox and charges you for the privilege of the space (when really I’m just looking at a good way to move files directly between two points) or enterprise based and more complicated that it needs to be.

I feel like web browser FTP was always kind of janky and useless compared to just getting FileZilla and using that.

Maybe I'm just young but, while I can navigate CLI, I've never liked it very much and I'll always take a decent GUI over it any day. FileZilla's always been my go-to.

You can access FTP using Windows 10's file explorer. No browser or third-party software necessary

SFTP is pretty much automatically there for any system that's listening for SSH connections, so I've been happily moving files around via SCP for many years now.

OTOH, uploading PDFs to our printer is a huge PITA, because they insist on dropbox which plays poorly with my limited upload bandwidth - files reach 100% but are never recognized as complete - and I'm like, c'mon, just use FTP, it's the loving industry standard for a goddamned reason. You're charging me a late fee for the actions of a crap third-party service you chose.

If only. These are newspaper pages to the company who prints them for us. And running a web-fed offset printer is ancient black magic, best performed by eldritch abominations you pay well for the privilege.

I use WinSCP and haven't had any problems. The browser-based stuff always felt like a pain in the rear end if it was for more than just grabbing a file or two.

It annoys me that Apple has removed ftp.apple.com and not replaced the contents elsewhere. You used to be able to download disk images for System 7.5.3 and now they're just "too bad gently caress you go away". I hope someone has the Mac System installers backed up somewhere. I had a Mac IIci with the cache card that was great fun to mess around with. It would suck to lose the ability to fix these old beasts just because Apple pulled the OS archives.

Probably kind of  but gently caress it. WinWorld is a great resource for OS installers and clean disk images of ancient apps.

Hello am I too late to this discussion to say I registered WinAmp like five minutes before it became freeware, and stopped using it in part when their answer as to what we got for our money was "thanks lol"

I never really understood the popularity of WinAmp. In that time period I was using MusicMatch Jukebox and the functionality was great, particularly ripping mp3s and such.

FilthyImp posted:Jukebox was paywalled for quality above like 128k and it took up quite a bit of screen space. It did have some sweet poo poo (like printing custom CD case designs with tracklists, but WinAmp was more streamlined and light. I might have either paid for it or otherwise had an unlocked version - I don't remember exactly. My rips from those days were all higher than 128k. At some point it still got dumbed down (probably after Yahoo bought them) and I just started using VLC for most purposes anyway.

I still remember when mp3 emerged and going to a friends house with a floppy disc containing an entire song, and just being mind blown by it. That and SNES 9x finally giving me a purpose behind the CDs of ROMs I knew existed but had no use for (I eventually found a Super Wildcard DX for $10). The mid 90s internet always had something huge just around the corner. I haven’t been excited by software developments in forever.

I kept all my music in a single 5000-song-long manually alphabetised winamp playlist and I think the only reason I stuck with it for so many years was because I loved the skins. Switched to itunes in 2008ish and never went back. It's not good or anything, just that was when I first moved over to macos and I haven't really used a windows computer at all in 10+ years now.

In the early 2000s Pepsi ran a promotion where under the bottlecaps you could find codes for a free download off iTunes. I would install iTunes, download the song, burn it to CD (if I recall that was the only way to really export them at the time) and then uninstall iTunes. Even on my Mac at work I avoided iTunes as much as possible.

CaptainSarcastic posted:I never really understood the popularity of WinAmp. The 2.xx versions of Winamp were light on resources and had an easy to understand straightforward interface, which made it the MP3 player for PC. And it was made freely available, which just increased its popularity. Every other player either used too many resources or had obtuse oddly-designed user interfaces or were expensive. And there were tons of plugins for audio formats, visualizations and integration with other applications, which appealed to us teenagers at the time.
