Just a quick question for ppl that deploy websites through FTP: how are y'all deploying your sites?

Which tools do you use?

Years ago, I used WinSCP. Now I use git for everything I can, if git is not an option, regular scp works just fine.

@rennokki

The question should be a different one: Why whould you use FTP?

Are there still valid (!) reasons for using FTP?

Note: SFTP is something entirely different than FTP or FTPS.

FTP shouldn't be used nowadays....

Don't you dare to use FTP for anything nowadays except for public files without authentication.

I use ssh. I log into the server and edit the files live, committing and pushing when the update is correct.

Gonna be SSH/rsync master race here and suggest a more secure method of deployment.

Filezilla ftw 😂

I asked not because I want to use it. I deploy with Github -> Actions -> EBCLI for most of the apps.

I asked because it seems like a good period of time since I last heard about FTP usage for deploying apps and I wonder if it is still in use for some of you. ^^

@rennokki

FTP - nuke IT from the orbit.

Nuff said.

@IntrusionCM thanks

At the place for which I work part time now you have to use a VPN + vs code over ssh to access the site's code.

Git.

Docker.

I build docker images for homepages in a gitlab pipeline, login via ssh (also in the pipeline) and do the magic with docker-compose.

@R3ym4nn this.

private docker registry for code.

winscp/scp for small files.

secure rsync over ssh for large files.

last time i did this, i just used windows explorer.

open any folder, click into the address bar, type in the ftp address, good to go.
