Hope this is the right place to ask. I used some free software in the past to catalogue some ripped DVDs and I can't remember the name of it. All I have to go on is thenaming format of the folder:

Unstoppable (2010) [DVD] [PG-13] [voted 6.5] [Action-Adventure]

...and in that folder, the software downloaded images etc.

Thank you in advance!

I suppose putting that kind of information into the filename can be advantageous in some scenarios, but I really wouldn't advise it, u/Zestyclose_Key_6964. That's the whole point of having metadata!
Overly long filenames can also cause problems for Windows-based programs that use the Explorer (including the Explorer itself) as there is an inexplicable total limit of 255 characters for filepaths. After the things will get buggy.

Should I use FTP or SFTP when downloading files to a PC from a Seedbox?

What is safest when not using a VPN?

Do not use unencrypted connections. There is no reason to ever use an unencrypted connection. FTP is obsolete, it was used in a time when encrypting and decrypting data was too resource intensive for the processors available.
That time has long since passed. People have been born, have grown into adults and have had children of their own since then.
Don't use ftp, don't use http.
