Let's say a customer needs to modify a WordPress site. I am asking for admin panel data and ftp data. It takes a very long time to transfer to the local area and the configs need to be changed. And if you work directly through filezilla, I'm afraid to break something. How do developers make any improvements??

5 minutes

How do developers make any improvements??

Copy to the locale + git + convenient development tools > push
Sample algorithm >
1. Go to the admin panel >
2. Install the Akeeba Backup plugin (any analogue)
https://www.akeeba.com/products/akeeba-backup-word .. 3.
Merge the backup into a jpa file (database + files) = 3 minutes
4. Transfer the jpa file to the root folder of the locale domain + throw the akeeba kickstart files there
https://www.akeeba.com/products/akeeba-kickstart.html
5. We go to the address domain_name / kickstart.php > enter the password \ login of the new database >
6. Connect to the theme folder git, tools, develop, merge in the reverse order according to the same algorithm.
We make backups before all movements.

Well, depending on the goal,
if you need to check the site at home on a PC, then download the necessary documents (html, css, js, php, well, let's start writing sites) just run the html document that runs when you open the site

You can connect via ftp or sftp via Deployment
Here is an example for PhpStorm

You can ask the customer to deploy dev on a subdomain. If he doesn't know how, do it for him. Then all those who follow after you will say thank you))
I don’t work on the local - everything is successfully synchronized through the hosting. And the work is like this - it's freedom - he left for another PC - everything is there. You just need to connect ide and github. Also with a laptop and with a home working PC. those. who often moves - you can not even take notes. The main thing is to have a flash drive with ide and someone else's computer / laptop - where are you going.
Plus in such work - you can not bathe in backups. Just a week ago, the hard drive died - and if there was a webserver and other server-side mess, then it took a long time to restore work, install something, configure it. Let hosters be puzzled by backup + github
