Re: [Gramps-users] Web site upload

[Don A. <don...@co...>]

I've found "sitecopy" to be invaluable. It is a simple command line
program that can keep an entire site up to date easily. It can use ftp
and webdav.

What is really nice is that it only updates files that change. You don't
have to copy entire sites. And since it uses checksums instead of
timestamps, it works very well with GRAMPS generated files - even if the
file is overwritten, if the content hasn't changed, the file won't be
copied.

Once you are set up, all you have to do is:

$ sitecopy --update <sitename>
