bulk uploading a web site via ftp

The sitecopy application can be used to automate the ftp uploading of websites. It keeps a local record of files, so that only updated files need to be uploaded on each refresh.

After installing sitecopy, it needs a cache directory and a configuration file in the home directory:
Code:
mkdir -m 700 .sitecopy
touch .sitecopyrc
chmod 600 .sitecopyrc
The configuration file .sitecopyrc contains details about the web site(s). Each site entry looks like this:
Code:
site sitename
   server server domain
   remote root of server folder
   local root of local folder
   username ftp username
To initialize the indexing of the local files:
Code:
sitecopy --init sitename
The site can be updated to the server each time it changes by:
Code:
sitecopy -o --update sitename
