Are there convenient tools for deploying sites to a production server if access is only via FTP? So that new files can also be transferred to the database.

Only new files, I think, now almost any FTP client can upload, but I don’t even know from the database. The only thing that comes to mind is to upload sql dumps and execute them through some kind of script.

For files:
- WinSCP
- FileZilla
And you can't synchronize the database via FTP.

You can look towards apache ant builder . Of course, you can’t synchronize the database through FTP, but you can write your own synchronization script. And then write everything in the script for ant.

By the way, if there is SSH / SFTP, then here you can already forward ports through the tunnel using PuTTY.
Take PuTTY, mapit remote MySQL on the local machine and run your favorite database synchronization program.

You can take a CMS without MySQL on html files and a regular ftp manager will be useful.

For mysql migrations in php there is such a project. bitbucket.org/idler/mmp Have n't worked closely with it yet, but I think it will solve the problem.
For files, there are enough programs. There are also IDEs that can work directly with ftp.

Sorry for the question. But do you really need hosting without convenient tools for work?
The difference in price is small, but over time you will lose weight. Is it worth it?
