hi,
i am developing a website, in PHP.
my website is hosted on linux server.
Offline i am using (for developing the website):
Machine OS: Windows XP
PHP Editor: Dreamweaver CS3
Image Editor: Photoshop CS3
FTPClient: FileZilla 3.3.3
I am putting new/modified files manually using FTP-Client "FileZilla".
My main problem is, when i make any minor change to any of my file, i have to connect FTPClient each time, and then move to particular folder and then upload new/modified file(s) to FTPServer.
Is there any wayout, so i can directly make changes to my files offline and just sync'zed the folders and latest files may automatically uploaded to FTPserver.
I am having a lot more trouble with my procedure, as it's bit time consuming game.
So please offer me any good suggestion sothat i can save ma time, and utilize that to development part.
let me know if there are any pros and cons using such methods....
please tell me how you make you PHP developemt project easy....

Re: what is the best way to put the php files on FTP server.
There is a possible solution. You should install a local web server just like XAMPP on your local machine. Then carry all of your development works there without having to upload anything during improvement stage and then upload the completed website to your hosting account just once. I think you may not get those errors now.
Re: what is the best way to put the php files on FTP server.
Some web development editors have built-in FTP clients that simplify the issue that you are describing. I'm not familiar with Dreamweaver (in any detail), but if it doesn't have this, I'd be surprised. I use a non-WYSIWYG editor called PSPad that has a very convenient FTP facility, including synchronizing and "project" folders, but if you're using Dreamweaver, that wouldn't offer you a solution. I'm sure that some of those WYSIWYG editors have a similar arrangement.

Also, since you are a FileZilla user (thumbs up, btw), you can go to the Site Manager settings, go to the Advanced tab, and set up the settings for synchronized browsing. This will speed up your ability to traverse the remote site and local site together.
Also, you can just upload the entire site every time and select "Overwrite if source is newer" for all uploads. Then, it will automatically determine what files need to be uploaded.
