Direct FTP access to Heroku?

Question

Instead of having to go through a convoluted push process that takes several minutes to complete every time I make a minor change, I'd like direct FTP access to my files on the Heroku server.

Is this possible?

Answer 1

No, it is not possible. While directly pushing with FTP is more simple, it is a fragile means of deploying code and managing applications (hard to track what was done, difficult to reproduce or manage rollbacks, etc).
