Cool way to synchronize you local folder with a remote folder

I hate developing code directly on the target machine - I would much rather edit them locally in Eclipse, scp them and checking them into SVN when they are stable.
So this utility provided by WinSCP is quite handy at copying remotely the files for me whenever I save them to the local folder:

WinSCP.exe soa@remotehost.com /keepuptodate C:\pierre\
workspace\myscripts /home/soa/targetdir/scripts

keepuptodate is the magic option

Restarting your remote Application Server from Windows, with WinSCP

"c:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /script=restart.script

and restart.script is:

option confirm off
open username:password@hostname
cd /pathToYourStartStopScripts
call ./stop.sh
call ./start.sh




easy does it!

No more need to putty to your remote AppServer host to recycle the server

Automate those tedious remote copy tasks with WINSCP

Install WinSCP

create a batch file containing:

"c:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.com" /script=copyall.script
pause

in copyall.script write:

option confirm off
open username:password@remotehost
lcd localPathWhereYourFilesAreStored
cd remotePathWhereYouWantToPutYourFiles
put file1
put file2
put file3
exit
