[ih] FTP RIP

[Joseph Touch]

This thread begs the question of where we’d be had TBL had tried to leverage FTP rather than reinventing the wheel with HTTP.

I recall an early interview that claimed the rationale was that FTP opened two connections for every transfer and he only wanted one. It’s been unfortunate how many of FTP’s features had to be (or still remain to be) reinvented in HTTP.
