Hi,
How do you tackle this problem?
Copying files is **not** a sane process, as you will sooner or later forget a file or mix files up. We're only human, it will happen.
Make yourself familiar with [Git][1] or [Mercurial][2], and read up on [gitready][3] or [hgtip][4]. For deploying applications to production or development systems, I can recommend something like [Capistrano][5]. It is a Ruby gem, but it is worth the installation (yes, it works on Windows, too). There even is [Capcake][6], a CakePHP extension for Capistrano, which does just that, deploy CakePHP apps :) It all may look tedious but is worth the effort. You will sooner or later need advanced methods better than copying and manually syncs if you wish to avoid evil failure. Benefits: you can create awesome templates for applications, and your deployments, and safe huge amounts of time for future projects.
