I would beg to differ. It may be a dumbed down version, but I'd still argue it's using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to move files from one computer to another via FTP as uppose to HTTP or any other protocol.

But we're splitting hairs here, I just think it's misleading to say FTP is not needed, a stand alone FTP Client may by be needed, but the underlying connection is still there.
