FTP

"File Transfer Protocol" is not exactly a skill; as the name suggests its a protocol used for sending files between servers. It's really widely used, although it was more essential before we started syncing files with GIT.

The "purest" way to use it is on the command line, but it's not the best. We're past the days of bulletin-board machines and FTP is now trivially wrapped in a useable layer by the likes of FTPZilla or CyberDuck; that's how I prefer to interact with it.

I've been using FTP since May 2012 (13 years).
