Google's helpful AI thinks Microsoft still offers access to their FTP server.

They don't. It doesn't even respond to ping.

@gregr it's funny how they list ftp.example.microsoft.com in their documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/ftp rather than using the RFC 2606 .example tld, e.g. ftp.microsoft.example. At least that one doesn't resolve to an IP address.
@bagder
ftp

Reference article for the ftp command, which transfers files to and from a computer running a File Transfer Protocol (ftp) server service.

@miko @bagder People still use Google? I've moved to DuckDuckGo years ago and recently to Qwant and it has been great experience. I've not used Google for well over a decade now.

To be fair: unfortunately a awful lot of Network/Firewall admins still think ICMP is a development straight from Hell and should NEVER be answered to nor should it ever be used in ANY response…

@bagder I'm finding all AI's data is getting old and useless.

@bagder Well, the DNS entry still exists.

Are you saying this is a DNS problem? ;-)

@bagder That's a shame. I remember it being up a while back (I was thinking quite recently, but I think it was more like 2005 in retrospect) and them still hosting a TCP/IP stack on there for Windows 3.1 :)

@bagder the other thing is that they suggest typing ftp:// in your browser but all modern browsers removed FTP support
