The 60-Second FTP Demo

Josh Koenig , Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer Reading estimate: 1 minutes

One of the features we've built into Pantheon is an active "on-server development" mode that allows you to use an (S)FTP client to work directly on the platform. It even tracks the files as you change them, and gives you a helpful UI for turning your changes into a Git commit:

We've made FTP mode even easier to use with one-click integration for popular programs like Transport or Cyberduck. These let you use your favorite desktop text editing suite. Other text editors (e.g. Sublime) or IDEs (e.g. NetBeans, PHPStorm) have FTP plugins that let them edit remote files, pushing up changes every time you "save".

We think FTP mode is really useful for every developer using Pantheon:

  • Decreases the "zero to coding" time for new projects.
  • Allows developers to truly debug "on Pantheon" rather than playing guessing games.
  • Easers the learning curve for git and version control.
  • Helpful for themers, or others who want to share work online immediately.

When you combine the power of FTP mode with capabilities like Multidev, you can have a whole team developing in the cloud, using version control, in just the amount of time it takes to sign up and connect. That's the power of Pantheon. We're excited about bringing together all these features on to the worlds best platform for professional web development.
