I admit, I used FTP a -lot- back in the day. But the internet was a much more innocent place, nobody worried about encrypting file transfers. And interactive FTP was almost as good as having a shell on the remote server, for browsing around and getting stuff.
But that innocence is long gone. And there have been far better tools available for many years.

And for those who know about SFTP, yes it still exists and works fine, but it's a subsystem of SSH (Secure SHell), not related to the original FTP, and I don't know which (if any) browsers support it as a protocol, e.g.:
sftp://host.domain.com/path/...
Anybody know?

In a former job, years ago, I had to upload files enrollment files to insurance carriers using FTP but there are much better and secure ways of doing that now.

It’s been so long since I used FTP that I have lost the memory of what is accomplished

Same - FTP was the convenient way to transfer files over our networks.
