Git-ftp is a shell-based command-line tool that uploads only the files changed since the last deployment to an FTP server, using Git to track changes. It stores the last uploaded commit id on the server, enabling incremental deploys and easy rollback to older versions.

Use cases

  • deploy only changed files to an ftp server
  • upload website updates via git push
  • incremental ftp deployment from git
  • roll back a deployment to an older git commit
  • deploy a specific git branch to shared hosting over ftp
  • sync local git repo with ftp host without re-uploading everything

When to choose

  • you deploy to shared hosting or legacy servers that only offer FTP
  • you want bandwidth-saving incremental uploads driven by Git history
  • you need simple scriptable deployment without a CI/CD platform

When to avoid

  • you need a centralized deployment tool with concurrent pushes
  • your server supports Git, SSH/rsync, or modern deployment pipelines
  • you require atomic or transactional deployments
