I'm using Konqueror on MGA9 and FTP still works. For my use, it is much better than Dolphin. Why? In Dolphin you can split the screen so you have 2 subwindows, one for your local hard drive, one for the FTP directory. You can drag and drop between subwindows and it works. On the dozen or so websites I maintain there are several directories where I need to put files; main directory with html, cgi-bin with backend programs, directories of forms, data for the cgi programs, etc.
In Konqueror I split the window into 8 subwindows; 4 for directories on the local drive where I keep a copy of the website and 4 FTP windows that correspond to those directories that are on the web server. The FTP subwindows are directly below the subwindows on the local drive. I can then drag and drop, up and down to move files. On Dolphin I would spend a lot of time switching both subwindows to the correct directories.
I suppose you could use tabs and bookmarks in Dolphin to set up something similar but how do you save your tabs? Create a .desktop file for each website? In Konqueror you save the session and when you reload it everything is ready to go.
