So what's the general opinion about FTP vs. HTTP in the GNU/Linux environment?
I'll take it...
Being more of a client than a server, I like FTP because I can choose a front-end to suit my mood: when I'm in a geeky mood, I run the command-line ftp client and issue Unix-like commands for doing things to files, otherwise I use my web browser to pretend those directories are web pages. I suspect the former would be tricky (but not impossible?) with HTTP.
