FTP is inherently insecure, so I would recommend setting up SFTP instead. It doesn’t require that you setup another piece of software and allows you to connect to SFTP using SSH.
The developers can use public/private key pairing as long as you set it up for them. They’d provide you with the public key, which would be placed in the users
authorized_keysfile.
