For screenshots I use flameshot, I am using RedHat but I believe it should be a package for Ubuntu. I used Shutter before that for a long time, and ended up building it on RedHat because it was deprecated, but now the build process is painful and Flameshot fits the bill.
If you have imagemagick, import can screenshot for you. Pop up a terminal, run sleep 1 ; import -window root /tmp/whatever.png , minimize the terminal and done. I use it for my still work in progress home-made workday logging tool. I capture the screen every minute, use imagemagick compare to quantify how much the window changed since the last time, and if it changed it will screenshot it, save to a capture directory, run tesseract on it, and index on elasticsearch. And I wrote a small PHP script to search on those archives. It's on https://github.com/thoriumbr/SuperBusca if someone is interested. It runs on a container, so it should not pollute your system if you just want to test.

For FTP I use Filezilla, but some people like gFTP, or you can use Nautilus, it has FTP capability.

| Hi - so browsers don't support ftp:// links any more
| <https://www.somagnews.com/mozilla-firefox-drops-support-for-ftp/>,

I knew that was coming.  I didn't understand the reason.  But the release
notes surely have a rationale.

FTP-through-NAT, especially through firewalls, is a real hack.

FTP has no built-in authentication or encryption.

| and
| I was wondering what people used as a drop-in app?

CLI all the way!  I've always used wget(1).  With the -N flag.

- this gets me a copy: I always worry that archives go away.

- this gets me the timestamp.  I find timestamps very useful for
  archived material.

| this change came out of nowhere.

I understand that this happened some time ago with Chrom*.  (I don't
use them much.)


| Also, my go-to screenshot thingy /*scrot*/ no longer works on Ubuntu
| 21.04:

gnome-screenshot AKA ScreenShot should work.

On Fedora, I type:

        "Windows-key" to show activities

        "s c r e" into the search box.  ScreenShot should be its first
        suggestion

        "ENTER" to run that suggestion.

I hope that description is less painful to decode than it was to
encode.

I bet you could map this function onto something else on your
keyboard.  I've not done it.

Compatible for X applications.  Not users.

I'm a moderately pliable and undemanding user.  Wayland is fine for
me.

My desktop is another matter.  It has an nvidia card.  Old enough that
nouveau supports it.  But the few times I've tried nouveau, it
misbehaved.  So I use the proprietary driver.  It doesn't get along
with Wayland.  So I'm still on X.

All my many other devices run Wayland.  Except possibly the laptop
with an nvidia GPU.
