I do, and to be honest with you it is more fractured than it has ever been. Back in the 90s "everyone" used FTP. Now the methods of deployment vary wildly including but not limited to: - FTP (over VPN), "Shared Folders" (SMB, over VPN), RDC/RDP (seriously, often not over VPN) - Git clients (and other source control, controlled over SSH), SFTP, FTPS, CMS (over HTTP/S), SCP, rsync/robocopy (over VPN) - Virtualisation trickery: Like cloning, snapshots, and shared data storage. The "best" way depends on a lot of factors. For example are you doing staging? Do you even have source control? How many servers? Etc. There is no one size fits all solution. For a small host or personal site, you can likely do what everyone else does: SFTP on Linux/BSD, and FTPS on Windows (via Filezilla Server). |
