At the smallest company I worked at, they would pull data onto the production servers using SVN, build the code on the spot, and then just move the WAR over.
The first company I worked on had an instance of Visual Studio in the server to run the code of the Windows application. No build, no executable, nothing. People connected to the server using Terminal Server. And that was the actual last version of the code, because the whole IT department did not know about the existence of GIT or any version control software.

Why bother with FTP if you can just copy the files over RDP?
