FWIW I'd also like to vote +1 on NO additions. I only vote in favor of ftp
in this
thread because we have a million year... OK 30 plus years of track record
for it and
it just works. Tho I must admit I find @bapt's recent tcp proposal an
interesting and
appealing idea. :-)

The proposal is now in anyway ;)

Uh, Oh. ;-)

of ssh into pkg+ssh:// :D)

I am just struggling on the name of the scheme: tcp:// or pkg+tcp:// (with a rename

+1 for tcp://

OTOH maybe a pkg:// proto would be even better still (https://www.iana.org/protocols/apply)

Best regards,
Bapt

P.S. You must REALLY hate ftp(1) to have gone to all this trouble. ;-)
