- moonshinefe 11y agoWith SFTP and SCP you need to run a daemon on the hosting machine, and create credentials for the other user to login so it's a bunch of extra steps. For a lot of people with firewalls and no root / admin access, it becomes a major pain.
- z3t4 11y agoIt's kinda funny that everything runs on port 80/443 now a days because of this.
- stephenboyd 11y agoPeople who doesn't even know what a text shell is can just drag a file icon onto the page to upload. No accounts or passwords are involved at either end, so it's about as frictionless as possible.
