Some development tools, e.g. [Netbeans](https://netbeans.apache.org/tutorial/main/kb/docs/php/remote-hosting-and-ftp-account/)
deploy code via FTP or SFTP.

Agilicus natively supports SSH, which SFTP is built on. You can use this with your
existing client in the same way you would use SSH.

We do not recommend FTP as it is not secure, however, if you must use it, you can
consider using it as a network directly, exposing port 20 + 21, and then using the
Agilicus Launcher to start your ftp client.
