The advantage of DW all those years ago was that it was FTP intergrated with the Page development. Can anyone suggest anything I can read do to get my head around working with Pinegrow and a separate FTP (I’ve picked Filezilla for no particular reason, anything easier?)

Hi @windspeed,  
Filezilla is just fine - don’t know your OS, so I can’t make specific suggestions (I like Cyberduck).  
The basic work-flow with FTP is to:

1. Connect to your site - your host should have instructions on IP/user name/password/port
2. Select files to be uploaded making sure to keep them in the correct folder structure and relative order
3. Select the destination and transfer  
I recommend that you save any FTP transfer until you are nearly done or completely done with the pages. It is much easier to do the bulk of the work locally.  
Cheers,  
Bob

There you go…wasn’t as hard (or as scary!) as I thought it would be.  
I’m up and running now.
