My company's web server is on shared hosting which means we do not have SSH access.I want to use GIT for our version control, but without SSH access I'm wondering whether or not it is acceptable to deploy my websites via FTP instead. Am I losing anything by taking this approach?What might be the major pitfalls for using FTP and not SSH, if any?Since we're a relatively small web consulting agency, could it be worth spending the extra money for a dedicated server?This is what I imagine to be the pitfalls:File management is Less EfficientThe extra effort made to upload only the files that were changedLoss of push/pull/clone functionality on the serverTrivializes Having a Remote Central Repository (i.e. Github or BitBucket)File management will always be from Local to Server......never from Central Repository to Server or vice versa
With GIT, is it necessary to deploy with SSH? Is FTP okay?
