There's the answer. "Browser upload" is done by HTTP. Different
protocol than FTP. I guess most people just use their browsers and
the servers in question aren't setup to accept FTP transfers.

You could call this Internet Evolution. (which may not be actual
progess)

I don't know if there is an advantage of one over the other for
file transfers.

Maybe Glenn could elucidate.
