Web site upload

[Theo Carr-Brion]

What is is easiest reliable way to upload a large GRAMPS web site on linux to
a ftp server? I am using konqueror to recursively copy the files but it comes
up with errors sometimes and the only option is to skip or cancel and I
wonder if I am missing some files.

Thanks,

Theo Carr-Brion

I use gFTP.  Being a dedicated FTP package, it has better options than
konq.  IMO, of course.  With gFTP, once your transfers are complete,
it's possible to "compare windows" as the menu item is labelled.  This
will highlight any discrepancy in size, etc. at both local and remote
hosts.  As a result, you can resend any truncated files, etc.

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>

Looks interesting.  Thanks for the tip.

Hello Don, Brad,

I have downloaded an RPM for FC3, it installed OK on my FC4 system, but
I cannot get it to work at all. My .sitecopyrc file is below. Can you
tell me where I have it wrong please?

site Nichols
          server ww4.tpg.com.au
          url www4.tpg.com.au
          username gnichols
          password xxxxxxxx
          local /home/graeme/
          remote /
          exclude *.bak
          exclude *~

The www4.tpg.com.au works just fine in gFTP or in CL ftp. I can log into
my web site using my browser using the URL
ftp://[hidden email]. Setting that as the server and URL
doesn't work either. It just sits there with no traffic happening. I am
testing it with the command sitecopy -l Nichols as I don't want anything
uploaded or changed just yet.

My apologies if this is not relevant here.

I don't use sitecopy, but I /think/ you need "users.tpg.com.au" as the
url, rather than gnichols@.... unless I've misunderstood what you
mean.

I can't answer that;  I'm not list admin.   :-)
