&gt; I use Linux daily and don&#x27;t want to switch to Windows just to connect to the printer&#x27;s FTP service<p>I wonder if the author tried using their file manager to connect? I haven&#x27;t needed any kind of external file management system since switching to Linux, Dolphin just handles everything (sftp, ftp, samba, etc) for me natively in the same window.

Instead of recompiling the source and installing it again, is there a way to monkey patch the already existing package? It seems like a few lines of code.

Good old FTP. I am a bit sad that it kind of died. We should have some modern FTP with super-simple everywhere implementations.<p>Edit: Actually, some things should be fixed too if any future FTP-like protocol would be added. I never liked the difference between active mode and passive mode in FTP. A user really should never have to care about that. Things should &quot;just work&quot;. It&#x27;s only data transfer in both cases anyway.

Somewhat related I am thinking of picking up a Bambu A1 as my first foray into 3d printing ... seems to be a really solid move can anyone comment?
