For automating the deployment (instead of manually copying) ant is the only way to go. I've heard stories that Maven is even easier, but we haven't jumped onto that band wagon (yet). When we build with no server, we have an ant build file that does all that, and then deploys to our external server. We do it old school and jump out to the file system and run via command line, but I've done from inside Eclipse as well.
