Just my 2 cents here, I personally update my apps via rsync/ssh from my own PC at home to my external server miles away, rsync will only copy differences and ignore certain files/directories, etc (all is configurable), perfect for me for production deployment, I'd be happy to share the shell script to accomplish this, unfortunately as far as I know this only works out of the box in Linux/Mac (i.e. you already have all that is needed in your computer without you even knowing it). Updating a mid-size application takes literally just seconds.
