AIUI, the ftp/ftps remote helpers are to keep a git _repo_ on a server that runs ftp.
This git-ftp is a "deploy the tip of my branch onto a production server" tool. The usage model is
- hack on your html/php website on your dev machine, in a git checkout - commit your code - use git-ftp to publish to the hosting server
Maybe it should be called "git ftpdeploy". It's a handy trick. I found it via http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2950107/git-push-into-production-ftp
