> I use Linux daily and don't want to switch to Windows just to connect to the printer's FTP service I wonder if the author tried using their file manager to connect? I haven't needed any kind of external file management system since switching to Linux, Dolphin just handles everything (sftp, ftp, samba, etc) for me natively in the same window. | ||

Ironically, Microsoft recently (few years ago) removed the FTP client from Explorer. | ||

My favorite way to connect to FTP servers on Linux was with lftp from the command line. I say was because I don’t really use FTP anymore. I do use Linux still though. lftp is available in every package manager I know. Man page: https://linux.die.net/man/1/lftp Actually lftp supports a lot of different protocols but I only ever used it for FTP, FTPS and SFTP. | ||

That was my first thought as well, there is special client needed on all major desktops. | ||

Or use mc (midnight commander). | ||
