Don’t worry too much about it if it doesn’t make sense to you. It can be really valuable if you’re deploying a substantial amount of IoT devices on the edge with no to little possibility to do over the air upgrades reliably or when the cost of failure is high (i.e. a technician has to be on site to fix it). So, sometimes you just want it to be running as stable as possible for as long as possible without management.

Ahh. Those were the days. Used modem to connect to school and connect remotely to the network using Linux. :)
To add to all great comments here I have one that I’ve used for ages and not seen mentioned here: lftp
It supports many protocols for ftp like over ssh and allows for shaky connections with resume and back in the days when this was more common I used to just run it in the background to download huge files that took days to download and it would gracefully just reconnect/resume/retry until done.
Yes, yes, and someone else’s problem will be your problem after the job hop! :)
In some parallell universe this happened at the first try…
