Strip out modified files from upload
Permalink
It generally takes about 45 mins to upload a raw C5 installation. Sometime I just test and then want to null everything and start again. Rather than delete and re-upload is it a simple exercise just to strip out or replace a few modified files, as I gather there are a lot of files that are just the C5 engine.
My new hosting platform probably does zips so I might look into that - thanks
For local dev work and FTP I use: http://www.mamp.info/ and: http://panic.com/coda/
Thanks. I've got a half dead version of MAMP somewhere on this computer :-) and Coda looks interesting. Will investigate.
With Coda's built in FTP I can have a local dev site to fiddle with and when happy with mod/tweaks I can instantly update remote site.
Also great If client is on the phone or Skype, can again tweak and update remote files while we're catting, saves me a heap of time going through a server control panel.

If you are doing a lot of testing and development, I highly recommend setting up a local server to work on. A local server also makes it easy to track modified files using Git.
If you cannot setup a local server and have a web host with a control panel file manager, upload your concrete5 install files as a ZIP, then use the control panel file manager to unzip the ZIP file. After unzipping the file, don't delete it, it can be used again if you need to start over with unmodified files.
