Using Coffeecup's direct ftp allows you to ftp files to S-Drive. VSD and the html editor does the same but you can't pick and choose which files are published. With those it's more of an all or nothing.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

the S-Drive hosting also does not allow for using Forms and any other types of PHP elements.

FTP = File transfer protocol
It's what gets your site files to your hosting account. ;)

and Hosting = The place you are uploading or using FTP programs to send your files to. Your space or home on the web.
