Apple has a pro tips site that usually has some good, if trivial, tips on it. Today, however, the tip is how to send files via FTP using the Finder. This has been impossible since the inception of Mac OS X.

I’m guessing someone saw that you could download via FTP and presumed the reverse worked. Didn’t we all?

Update: It’s been pulled now. Smiling

I did “do some research” and it does not work and has never worked. You’re likely not using FTP...

Not a problem. Text is an inexact medium. Smiling
