How to compare these tools

A publishing system needs hosting and maintenance, while a local server package is for development. A file-transfer client moves files but does not by itself provide a publishing platform.

  • Separate local development from public production hosting.
  • Plan backups, updates and access permissions.
  • Use encrypted connections when transferring site files.
