Syncing between two servers

[SzurszewskiJ]

For a variety of reasons, I cannot run Apache on my Mac, so I don't develop my web site on my local machine, but rather, I develop my site in a subdomain on my host's server.  What I would like is a way to sync between two folders on a remote server, much like Yummy currently syncs between the local Mac and the server.  In other words, I need a way to copy everything that's changed in my development folder into the production folder on the remote server.  Is there a way to do this currently in Yummy?  If not, could some way to do this be considered for a future release?

No such capability at the moment, but I will certainly look into it

For the time being though, you might investigate using rsync on your server from the command line. It should be able to do exactly what you want, as far as I know.

Thanks for the reply.  I had thought of rsync, but since I don't have shell access to the server, this isn't going to work (this is a large commercial hosting company). 

Having given this some thought, I think the FTP client is the right place for this sort of functionality.  Because shell access to servers is hit and miss, and because ftp access is near-universal, the FTP client would be the natural place to do this.  Finally, because I think Yummy already has some sort of interface to a diff program, hopefully this would not be too hard to implement?

Thanks for considering this!

Has this feature been added? I'd like to see it for the exact same reasons as the OP.

No, I never did add such a feature as yet. Sorry!
