A bit late to the party, but my take is: please just don't. I absolutely freaked out when Apple removed the telnet and ftp clients from Mac OS and I needed to reinstall them via MacPorts. People who manage any larger collection of networking gear *depend* on these outdated but simple services. Client and server side alike. TFTP is not going away, neither is FTP. I'm dead serious. Remote media via Supermicro IPMI in 2021? SMB1. Firmware updates for my UPS? FTP. Scanner/printer/fax all-in-one thingy? Uploads received fax transmissions via FTP. PBX? Uploads usage reports via FTP. This stuff is here to stay. In local networks, of course. But still even on "the Internet", FTP is the most used method for customers of static website hosting. You cannot teach these people what an SSH key is. Just my experience, but backed by a load of customer interactions over more than 20 years ... Kind regards, Patrick -- punkt.de GmbH Patrick M.
