If you're not deploying via images or images+git, it sounds like scp and be done. It's probably not worth trying to train your developer in image-based deployment or in version control, either of which would eliminate all need for remote access to the image.
Make sure you have regular automatic backups, lock down the permissions on key files, create an ssh user, and call it a day. *John Burwell* Systems Administrator 16945 Northchase Drive, Suite 1610, Houston, Texas 77060 *M* 281-874-2110 *D* 281-875-7997 *C* 713-269-8605 crystaphase.com On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 1:15 PM, Mark Creamer <[email protected]> wrote: > I have a site built on the Wordpress > image 2d7e5054-95e8-11e4-9bc9-835655bded42.
