I've been deploying .php files this way only.. If you want to deploy full configuration of hosts you may also want to learn about nixos.org (which handles restarting apache etc) or chef like systemms: http://www.rubyinside.com/chef-tasty-server-configuraiton-2162.html using nixos you can easily automatically generate additional cron job ensuring that permissions are correct etc. Maybe talking about your exact use case will make others list more options.
