Old timers know

This application looks fine to me.

Clearly labeled sections.

Local on one side, remote on the other

Transfer window on bottom.

No space for anything besides function, is the joke going over my head?

I remember joining the industry and switching our company over to full Continuous Integration and Deployment. Instead of uploading DLL's directly to prod via FTP, we could verify each build, deploy to each environment, run some service tests to see if pages were loading, all the way up to prod - with rollback. I showed my manager, and he shrugged. He didn't see the benefit of this happening when, in his eyes, all he needed to do was drag and drop, and load the page to make sure all is fine.

Unsurprisingly, I found out that this is how he builds websites to this day...

Some of us still do 🙃

People don't use FileZilla for server management anymore? I feel like I've missed that memo.

FileZilla isn't even that old school, cuteftp was the OG one afaik.

I mean, a lot of docker files out there with COPY . .

Somehow I miss those days. Now you need weeks of training to understand the black magic behind all the build/deployment stuff in whatever cloud provider your company decided to use…

I remember this. I also remember using scp instead. And ftp, if I go back far enough. rsync is still my friend though zfs has mostly replaced it now.

rsync gang when?

I never liked FileZilla. I used Cyberduck

okay, but why did you use a password when the ssh/sftp key is right next to the files

FTP and rsync my beloved

A lot are still doing that and haven't moved up

(Please at least use SFTP!)

I used CuteFTP, but I am a gentleman

This is how I deployed web servers in school like 3 years ago.

This is from before my times, but... Deploying an app by uploading a pre built bundle? If it's a fully self-contained package, that seems good to me, perhaps better than many websites today...

Ah yes, war files

There's still a few sites I deploy changes to using ssh+rsync. ...which is made considerably easier by the fact that it's just a static website generated with Jekyll.

Did it for the first time two years ago. It was for my parent's business website. I see nothing wrong with this method.

You will pry ftp from my cold dead hands.

Cries in REST API

This is how I deployed an app less than 5 years ago (healthcare).

It's sad

Oh please, you didn’t even have to turn the cassette or floppy disc over. You and your luxuries.

True story, bruh.

FTP Explorer all the way! Preferred that to filezilla... I mean it didn't support sftp but I liked it.

I deploy my apps with SFTP command line .

this app uses java swing?
