Can anyone recommend a program for synchronizing my local copy with the
active web site? I've got myself a nightmarishly complex web site &
there's no way I can do it manually anymore.
It's actually going to be pretty tricky because people can leave
comments so I need to download files as well as upload & I've been known
to rename or move things so it'd have to delete things on the web side
if none exists locally (except new comments) & download to local if the
date is newer than a same-named local version. The deleted or renamed
files thing is probably impossible to implement without a record of
previous names but as close as I can get.
Just to give a clue what I'm dealing with:
<http://localhost/1/?SC=go.php&DIR=Species/Eukarya/Plantae/Anthophyta/Dicots>
These are all nested folders creating the system. There's about 2,000
files & folders at this early stage.
As a kludge, I can remember what I've renamed or deleted but at least I
need to be able to upload all files with a date past the previous
upload. I suppose I might be able to check "don't overwrite all" & drag
the whole thing up.
It's php driven, so worst case is I have to program my own updater. I'm
not a very vigorous programmer <g>. Maybe someone has already written
such a thing? I have a bit more of a 'control panel' for the local
version where I could add such a feature.
