FTP itself mostly deprecated because not secure.
I spend most of my work time in a terminal shell connected to a Linux server, very similar to what I used 40 years ago.
Many (most?) banking systems run on SFTP today.
They used FTP heavily at a point too. I remember transferring batch wire transfer instructions by exposing a tsv file on a particular FTP server. The only security was obfuscation, it could have been bad but never was so it felt secure.
Not using a MacOS desktop FTP client, which is what the OP misses.
