The will to encrypt data transfers is not lacking. However, the will to maintain backwards compatibility seems to be greater.Also your lack of understanding of these kind of things
It's not a lack of understanding, it's not giving a shit about implementation details paired with an intense hatred of weak excuses to maintain the status quo, even though pretty much everybody agrees the status quo sucks ass.If email could get authentication without the world ending, then FTP could get always-on encryption without the world ending. The only thing lacking is will.
The status quo for file transfers is really RSYNC, HTTP(S), WebDAV, SMB, SCP, and SFTP. Only luddites still use FTP.

I guess the health insurer and banks that I need to transfer files to want to smash looms.

No kidding. There was no shortage of plain FTP when I worked at a hospital. It was unacceptable then, and it's unacceptable now.

Why not just use FileZilla?
FileZilla is a huge pile of WTF. The only good SFTP client I've found in Windows is WinSCP. And even it's only acceptable, not great.
Curl?
Easy, like this:
curl.exe -T -u ftp://www.blakey.xxx -G -Re -z -Sc "certificate file" -K3 -k2 -zYES -f+ -Q "bin" -Q "DO ALL THE WORK" -t5 @"C:\Users\Blakey\Documents\My Pictures\Pretty pictures"

Anyway, I just got pissed as the feature should BE IN THE FUCKING OS WHAT THE FUCK HOW DO APPLE USERS STAND THE FACT THAT THEIR OS DOESN'T FUCKING DO ANY OF THE MOST COMMON THINGS PEOPLE WANT THEIR OS TO DO AND EVERY OTHER OS DOES! and after a short rage, I gave up.
So Mac OS was written by SpectateSwamp?

Wow, total thread derailment.
In case you are wondering where I get these kind of things, they are questions from allexperts.com that I try and answer. I don't know if they are freshmen, someone working at a company or what, although a lot of them tend to be for "how do I do my senior project for this class from this really crappy Indian University".
As for the comment regarding using a variable with the same name as the class: Its fine, if the variable is of the same type as the class its named after. Having a variable named "Rectangle" be of type int makes very little sence (unless you plan to pack your rectangle into an int).
