Cite FTP is for citing FTP links such as ftp://
FTP has been largely deprecated since 2021. FTP is no longer natively supported by most modern web browsers due to security. Many FTP links can be converted to HTTPS links simply by changing the ftp:// --> https:// .. please do this where possible, then use {{cite web}} or a similar template.
Some FTP links are only available as ftp:// and that is what this template is for.
For further information see Help:FTP.
Usage
[edit]Use the same as {{Cite web}} except replace |work= (or |website=) with |server=
Example:
{{cite FTP |last1=Standish |first1=Myles |date=October 31, 1997 |title=CDroms |server=Jet Propulsion Laboratory |url=ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/eph/planets/}}
- Output: Standish, Myles (October 31, 1997). "CDroms". Jet Propulsion Laboratory (FTP). (To view documents see Help:FTP.)
