Always the proxy. A traditional tool hands an assistant your FTP login and lets it connect straight to your server; SyncNow does not, and the difference is all in your favor.
Direct FTP, the old way
With direct FTP, the assistant holds your real credentials and talks to the host itself. Your password is exposed, changes happen invisibly, and nothing stands between a mistake and your live site.
Through the proxy, the SyncNow way
- Your password stays in the cloud vault - the assistant only gets a one-time key for the local proxy.
- SyncNow's cloud executor performs the real operation, so credentials are never on your side.
- Every change is recorded on the timeline and checked by safety guards.
- One session at a time keeps multiple assistants from colliding.
What it means for you
You get the productivity of a capable assistant without handing it the keys to your site. Direct FTP by an assistant is forbidden - attempting it is a bypass that gets the assistant banned.
