@nixCraft or transfer a 40GB file over ftp with the possibility to resume
@nixCraft Sure, you can have that. Step 1, install wireguard...

@nixCraft Do you not realize that there are legacy #hardware devices out there that still support #telnet (but not #ssh) access?

Power strips with individually controllable outlets are one example.

@nixCraft it’s time to create Telnets: telnet over ssl (tls actually but nobody names it correctly).
@nixCraft
FTP must die! All protocols using more than a single port must die! 😁
@nixCraft Tell that for the company I used to work for (AS4230, in case you're wondering)
