About FTP
When you need developer and design work done in seconds, FTP delivers a clean, focused interface without the friction of a generic tool. Everything happens client-side, which means your files and data never leave your machine. The interface is intentionally minimal so you can focus on the task instead of learning the tool. If you find yourself doing this regularly, the rest of the developer suite covers most adjacent tasks with the same approach.
