[GTALUG] ftp helper app, and how to screenshot on Ubuntu 21.04?

[Stewart C. Russell]

Hi - so browsers don't support ftp:// links any more
<https://www.somagnews.com/mozilla-firefox-drops-support-for-ftp/>, and
I was wondering what people used as a drop-in app? I'd prefer if it
weren't Filezilla, as that thing was a bug-ridden mess of spyware last
time I looked at it. Most of the very old computer documentation I use
lives on FTP sites, and this change came out of nowhere.

Also, my go-to screenshot thingy /*scrot*/ no longer works on Ubuntu
21.04: it gives me this:

X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window
parameter)   Major opcode of failed request:  14 (X_GetGeometry)  
Resource id in failed request:  0x0   Serial number of failed request: 
8   Current serial number in output stream:  8

My keyboard doesn't have a PrtSc key so I can't use any of the built-in
screenshot tools. Is this a Wayland thing? I thought Wayland was
supposed to be compatible with X?

cheers,

 Stewart
