5.4. Uploading

Screem provides an upload wizard to upload any changes you make to you site easily. Only files that have changed will be uploaded to save bandwidth. The upload wizard depends on you having set a site address, upload method, path, username and password for the remote site. (You can also specify the url) The upload wizard does not currently handle uploading files which are not part of a site

The upload wizard is essentially reuses Sitecopy's code. Sitecopy is a remote website synchronization program written by Joe Orton. The wizard itself was written by Lee Mallabone, due to his experience in writing an interface for it with his excellent program Xsitecopy.

Currently the upload methods supported are:

The version of the sitecopy code that the wizard uses is 0.10.something for anyone who is wondering. If you notice there is also a local upload method. This is also not currently supported.

Because the wizard reuses sitecopy's code you can still upload your site using sitecopy or Xsitecopy, infact you can do so interchangeably with Screem. It doesn't matter. A file will be written to your $HOME/.sitecopy directory (which will be created if it doesn't already exist) which holds information on the files and directories in the site.

Warning

DO NOT delete the $HOME/.sitecopy directory or you will have to upload your entire site again.
