If rsync will work to your remote hosts, then can I safely assume you do have ssh access to them (rsync won't work without it unless you can launch an rsync daemon on your remote hosts). If so, then I don't think you really want to do the rsync thing at all, really. Instead, I'd use git or mercurial (or even svn or cvs will do). When you have your changes ready, push them to a remote repository (github.com or gitorious.org, say). Then you can pull the updates from the net by running the corresponding pull from the repository on the remote hosts. Let me also say that you should be keeping *everything* you develop in source control. It goes beyond just being able to backtrack if necessary, although that has been it's primary function. Keeping track of your own development efforts, even solo, can be very important to maintaining your code. Additionally, as you can see above, it aids greatly in deploying your code. Additionally, if you keep your repositories for any open source work on a public repository, it's advertising for your work and a simple off-site backup plan. With shell access, you can also create your own private repositories on one of your host accounts. Anyway, this has drifted far in to the topics of managing and deploying code, not so much PHP. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
