This is from before my times, but... Deploying an app by uploading a pre built bundle? If it's a fully self-contained package, that seems good to me, perhaps better than many websites today...

That's one nice thing about Java. You can bundle the entire app in one .jar or .war file (a .war is essentially the same as a .jar but it's designed to run within a Servlet container like Tomcat).
PHP also became popular in the PHP 4.x era because it had a large standard library (you could easily create a PHP site with no third-party libraries), and deployment was simply copying the files to the server. No build step needed. Classic ASP was popular before it, and also had no build step. but it had a very small standard library and relied heavily on COM components which had to be manually installed on the server.
PHP is mostly the same today, but these days it's JIT compiled so it's faster than the PHP of the past, which was interpreted.
FTP Explorer all the way! Preferred that to filezilla... I mean it didn't support sftp but I liked it.

This is how I deployed web servers in school like 3 years ago.
Yeah it's not all that uncommon in school, just increasingly uncommon in industry.
