Wow really? Such a big discussion out from such a simple matter? Seriously Nya, you dont actually *need* to know any of FTP to create a html webpage, granted that it's only an uploading task. Giving it a use or not doesn't change that fact. I can imagine that most teachers would skip the FTP process though, when learning HTML it's not necessary. Don't take any harm from this I am saying cause I know what you mean, but it also has its flaws to it.
And also I don't know why you are having so many problems with the word "standard" when you know littleatari meant that in most stream sites there is a
help (call it that way if you don't want to call it standard) which is web upload instead of FTP. FTP doesn't suck, and isn't that hard to use either, but in most cases people have to download a program (or plugin if you have Firefox) and have to learn their way around it to make it work, if it doesn't break down in some part. It's not that internet users are dumb, but they all aren't programmers/computer savvy, and with more and more advances in the programming languages things can be made easier to the user side, like what most webs have been doing until now. Saying that the site should leave this as a "filter" shows this like some rock in the path for new users. Why should they be brad editors because they don't go through this? So, a change like this in the upload process isn't mandatory at all, but would be a nice change for those that would use it. If you still would want to upload via FTP, you should be able to do so.

They certainly can't survive actually participating in the hobby without some degree of desire or at least willingness to learn. The inability to search for a simple answer to a question on google should raise some red flags somewhere, shouldn't it? At some point it becomes unfair to them to not send the wake up call.
Personally, I thank the org for forcing me to learn and use FTP. I use it all the time now. I feel sorry for the people I talk to who've never even heard of it. It's a little complicated to learn, but once you learn it actually using it is quick and easy. It makes so many things so much easier. They don't know what they're missing. It's sad.
Seriously? It either isn't that hard to learn, nor something a video editor would really "miss" if they didn't go through it. I'm actually wondering if you were serious with this or it was just sarcasm.
