No, it's also used to edit files. Its big advantage is that it easily allows remote access, when you haven't set up any other alternative for remote access, without worrying about firewall configuration or software installation. I don't know whether a lot of people use it when they have LAN access to their web server's filesystem. It is lacking in many respects, but it's a lot better than nothing.
