Ο Google Chrome will stop supporting all FTP addresses from the firmware version of Chrome 80 onwards, and the company plans to completely remove FTP-related code from Chrome 82.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP from File Transfer Protocol *) used by websites to upload and λήψη files is quite old and lacks encryption. However, some computer manufacturers provide drivers or firmware updates from FTP sites, which is not secure.
- We mention the whole name to confuse it with the well-known anarchist slogan that uses the same initials. Keep your clothes…
In Chrome 76, if you try to access images or PDF files in FTP sites, they can be downloaded, but the files cannot be displayed by the program tours (you cannot read online, before downloading them). However, Chrome still displays directory listings of the contents of an FTP server.
But today, Google he said its intention to stop generally supporting FTP URLs in Google Chrome.
Company employee Justin Tervay says that the current implementation of FTP code in Chrome does not support encrypted connections. With minimal use of FTP addresses in Chrome and the various FTP client applications available on all platforms, Tervay says "it makes no sense to invest in FTP support."
So the Chromium development team has remove fully support for accessing FTP addresses, investing more in secure HTTPS addresses.
The company plans to remove directory listing and downloading via Google Chrome from unencrypted links in accordance with the timetable displayed here (Google doc).
