Oh please, you didn’t even have to turn the cassette or floppy disc over. You and your luxuries.
This is how I deployed an app less than 5 years ago (healthcare).
It's sad
I know a place where they still do this. They've got an 8-digit user count, 7 digit monthly profits, all running on one server that costs something like $20 a month. They've downsized a few years ago to single-digit employee number and just sit there and collect profits. And this is why I'm now working for a company that casually dropped a few grand for a glorified CPU usage meter and a few grand on top of that for deployment tool that does the same thing that the old guy at a former place was doing with his trusty FTP client.
I am currently updating a minecraft server soooooo
if your hosting provider 1) is not yourself and 2) requires you to use anything like filezilla, get a new hosting provider
Why?
Unless you're using Linode or something other general purpose VPS which you have installed a Minecraft server onto, having to use anything other than a WebUI to exchange files with the server really strikes me as sketchy. A dedicated can't-run-anything-else Minecraft hosting provider even giving random users SSH access is sketchy enough but requiring you to use it to update the game... that level of not having an IT guy is just a security nightmare waiting to happen.
Guessing by your comment that you've actually rented a general purpose Linux VPS and not gotten suckered into Honest Pete's Discount CreeperHost. In that case, carry on.
Cries in REST API
FTP Explorer all the way! Preferred that to filezilla... I mean it didn't support sftp but I liked it.
True story, bruh.
