A better way to ftp

[steve]

Hi,
I have a large CMS project (phpnuke), and it is deployed on three
remote servers. Anytime I make a change to the scripts locally, I
have to connect to three ftp servers, change directories, upload
files... yikes.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Weex does a good job.

If they weren't just FTP servers, you could use rsync to save even more
time.

I wrote a thing some time ago to publish a site via FTP - it's called
pushsite, requires Perl and you can get it from

http://pushsite.sourceforge.net/

Rsync would work like a charm, but if you don't have access, I've used
this free application to sync FTP sites:

If you are on Unix or Linux you could use curl.
It's scriptable and it works with ~/.netrc
After all you would be able to write a shellskript, which checks your
local directory for changes und uploads the canged files to the servers.
All you have to do is to start the skript by one command.

Thank you all for very helpful advice. Since I am on Windows locally
(forgot to mention that) I will try scriptftp first. Then I can move
on to the other solutions if that does not work. I will report back on
the results.

Thanks again,

steve
