I haven't used ftp in like 5 years. Do people use it anymore, or is it all some sort of git push triggered build sequence?
SSH too... haven't used that in 2 years I think.

Reason I haven't had to use SSH in a few years is primarily that managed Wordpress allows pretty much everything to be done from the browser. You used to have to ftp themes for eg. And back in the day, plugins and updates too.
That and I gave up doing anything besides WP.

People still use it *a lot* in the enterprise. One indicator is that AWS launched this at the last re:Invent: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/what

Sure, it gets used for dinky little things. But yeah mostly deploys triggered on push. SSH certainly gets used all the time.

I'd be more likely to reach for scp to transfer files over ssh than ftp.

Sigh, I've used ftp. Yeah, sending my pw in the clear over the wire. My work, at a security company, username and pw. Internally at least.

FTP servers are still a thing in government. Some moving toward managed cloud services to accomplish the same thing.

I recently started using SFTP again for a self-hosted image repo I'm too lazy to hook up anything more sophisticated for. I use ssh almost daily for devopsy work on some tech debt laden prod systems.
