Automation of file updating

anonym00se

Does any one know a tool for win32 similar to rsync. which will allow me to update web site
locally and then only upload what has been added or changed since the last synchronization?

LoLth

emmm,

how about:

a script (as basic as a batch file) that reads reads the contents of a folder. If there is anything there, it will call up your FTP program and upload it to your host.
Then it opens a text file (say index.html) adds a links to the bottom of the page with the name and time of the new file. Uploads that to the host, and overwrites the un-modified version. Then moves the new document from your 'to-be-uploaded' folder to an archive folder for personal reference later.

We used to do something similar in work for posting to the intranet when an update went successful overnight (if the post said something went wrong, then the asian and american office knew not to use it). Saved us a lot of time correcting the mistakes they made with bad data

I know dreamweaver3 has a site management feature which does all of that stuff and supports "source control" kinda.

Can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Ya, if you create templates in Dreamweaver 3, and update the template file, it'll change all the pages you've created based on the template.

Apart from that, the script seems like a good idea.
