Synchronize local server and production server

Question

I am doing a PHP project which is almost completed and uploaded to Production server for Client demo. Since The client is specifying some changes. I am doing that changes in my local server and later upload it to production server. Since some changes will took in more that 1 files its really difficult me to update the Production server via FTP.

Is there any way to Synchronize the changes made in local server with production server??

Is there any way to configure SVN in production server???

please help

Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks

Answer 1

well i think that you have your own answer... SVN... what you need is a SVN server.. (maybe in the same Production server or not), and if you have ssh access to your production server all you need to do is login in a console and update the new version.. for that you'd have to learn the basic svn commands, so you wont override configuration files or upload/download files you dont need (like uploaded images, etc)...

good luck!

Answer 2

Can't you do a 'checkout' of your project to the server? I think that would be the simplest thing to do.

When you change something in your system you just commit and then update in the production server. Either that or do a scp or rsync.
