And, if you don't have ssh access to the web server -- but rather, just
ftp -- there's `ftpsync` which I use. When Googling for `ftpsync` ,
ignore the windo$ hits. There's a name collison there. You want the
linux program.
Be carefull with ".htaccess". heh heh Mine are different for the local
machine -- mainly for testing and local lan purposes. Now and then I
screw up and upload an .htaccess from the local web server to the
World-Wide-Web server. Big snafu - that! :-)
