      I must have missed that one, what’s going on with Filezilla?

        Filezilla itself is not the problem. Deploying to production by hand is. Everything you do manually is a potential for mistakes. Forget to upload a critical file, accidentally overwrite a configuration… better automate that stuff.

          This. Starting at the company in 2023 and first task being to “start enhancing a 5 y/o project” seemed fine until I realized the project was not even using git, was being publically hosted online and contained ALL customer invoices and sales data. On top of this i had to pull the files down from the live server via FTP as it didnt exist anywhere else. It was kinda wild.

          Wait so the production release would consist of uploading the files with Filezilla?

          If you can SSH into the server, why on earth use Filezilla?

        It had a major security problem in like 2010. Later everyone moved to git and CI/CD so nobody knows what happened after that.
