Sharing grows a home of its own: short ftpie.link links with a password if you want one, one link for a whole set of files, screenshots and notes shared as themselves, and email with nothing to set up. Plus videos that play smoothly, with a playlist, and a long list of FTP fixes.
The top of the window is rebuilt: a main menu that finds open tabs and reopens closed ones, an address bar you can jump through, a toolbar that follows your selection, and drag-to-split view. Underneath, backups and transfers that no longer lose files or report them done when they are not.
A vendor, bank or web host sent you a host, a username, and a password or a key file. What each detail means, how to connect from Windows - with an app or the built-in sftp command - and what the usual error messages are telling you.
