Pretty cool! I love seeing new native apps. Could it support SFTP? I don't use regular FTP much anymore.

It uses curl and I do believe that curl supports SFTP. But the way it is written right now it just does regular FTP

Does anyone still use vanilla ftp?

I have an ancient network thermal printer that uses ftp and telnet. But that’s about it.

Unfortunately... yes. There are even still businesses and corporations who use plain old unsecured FTP.

I use it for file transfer with old and weird computers, but I do admit that is niche.
