+1 on archiving/adding  [DEPRECATED] text in the description.

reporting issues on them.
I proposed long ago to archive them, but some people was against it, but I
think archiving is the way to go when something is deprecated.

+1 The deprecation notice needs to be prominent, I missed it myself on a
quick scroll.
Some of that readme is in a specific format to support appearance in
docs.cordova.io ( similar to
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/
cordova-plugin-file/index.html
  )
This is no longer a requirement, so we can go prominent.
We should also ask INFRA to put the text [DEPRECATED] in the description,
and possibly even archive the repo.

I'm sure you're not the only one who misses it, considering the repo is
still pretty active in terms of new issues being reported.

Correction: There is in fact a deprecation notice, part-way down the
README, but it's not especially attention grabbing and I missed it the
first 2 times I skimmed the file.

Hey folks,

The File Transfer plugin has been officially deprecated since 2017:

https://cordova.apache.org/blog/2017/10/18/from-
filetransfer-to-xhr2.html
However, the repo and npm have no link to that page or any sort of
indication that it is not maintained.

With the release of cordova-ios 6, the FileTransfer plugin no longer
compiles on iOS:
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/issues/258

I want to reply to that issue saying that it's deprecated and not
maintained, but I feel like we haven't made that very clear.

I would like to propose that we update the README for File Transfer
with a
clear deprecation notice which links to the blog post from 2017, and
that
we ask ASF Infra to mark the repo as archived.

Any objections?
