The first link in the text file bring an FTP site really took me back. I prefer FTP to gopher or Gemini. It’s amazing what can be done with file names and directory structure, though an 8 character limit make some interesting abbreviations and suffixes
- qingcharles 386 days agoIn the early days of the public Internet, 1993-1994, my job in the "warez" crew I joined was to spend my days grinding through public FTP sites finding folders that had accidentally been left write-enabled and then create hidden folders using escape characters, e.g. ^H^H^H^H that you could only open if you knew they were there. Then my buddies could store all their MEGABYTES of warez in them.
