Sublime’s Remote SFTP package allows to upload/download files to/from my local device to the server directly within the text editor itself. There are automated ways to do this with your text editor! Yippee. This gets extremely annoying when you have to upload edited files via FTP client each time changes have been made that you want to push live. There are various FTP clients, such as Fetch, FileZilla, Cyberduck, and more, that provide intuitive interfaces that allow for drag-and-drop of files.
In my simplified terms, it’s how I upload/download files from my local machine to-and-from servers where my websites are hosted.
File transfer protocol (FTP) is used to transfer files between computers on a network.
