In this case, an FTP server must be configured on the Web server. Choosing a deployment method The choice of deployment method mainly depends on the constraints imposed by the hosting company and on the location of deployment server (remote or local). The setup via physical media is recommended if the Web server can be easily accessed (the Web server and the development team are located in the same premises, for example). The remote setup (by HTTP) from the development computer is recommended if the deployment computer cannot be easily accessed. Before performing a remote setup, the hosting company must configure the WEBDEV account manager.
