In 2014 ftp access is not a feature, it is an alarm bell to anyone that has any concern at all for security.

I _hope_ that when they write 'FTP' they actually mean '(FTP or) SFTP'. Alas, that's no always true.

They seemingly do:

That's FTPS, not SFTP, to be precise.

The former is classic FTP sessions secured with TLS on all or some (negotiated at runtime) connections. The latter is a (saner, IMHO) separate protocol traditionally run over SSH session.

Don't know how to use Git but you're a NodeJS dev? Really?

I have Modulus Node hosting. Deploying is as simple as running "modulus deploy" in the terminal, no git knowledge required :)

Well, then it's high time those folks learn git, isn't it? The basics aren't that difficult.

Or, if not git, then some other version control system. In the 21st century, a VCS really isn't optional.

Just signed up and tried ftp access but seems like there is a problem. Most probably it's because of randomly generated ftp username

Edit: It's working but needs a time to finish deployment
