my parents have an old windows 95 computer that they sometimes still use but its fairly useless and they want to get rid of it but there are pictures on there that they want to keep.

usb drives don't work. i've tried old ones and nothing.

i thought maybe upload to dropbox or similar but of the browsers i could get to work, none would let me upload to any of the popular services, dropbox, onedrive, google.

would taking the drive out of the machine and getting and IDE to USB cable and plugging into into a new computer to get the files off work? this is the only idea i could come up

also possibly connecting to ftp but i am not sure if i can find a program that will let me connect to a secure ftp with windows 95.
