Uploadi.sh

Simple script that uploads a project to a remote location, using rsync and SSH. The project name is assumed to be the current directory, so you can reuse for all your projects going to the same remote.

Example

• Suppose your project is directory ecom to be uploaded to /home/you/work/ecom in your webhost.
• You use a build tool and the it puts the files in directory build inside ~/webdev/ecom
• Assume SSH login port number 83723 (for example's sake)
• The edited script would look like:

SSH="ssh -p 83723"
remote_dir="you@hosting.web-whatever.com:/home/you/work"
local_dir="build"

• Note it says /home/you/work, not /home/you/work/ecom. Omit the project directory, it will be created for you.
• cd to project directory: cd ~/webdev/ecom and call uploadi.sh

Reuse for several projects

Because the local project directory name (ecom) is not hardcoded, but appended to the remote (/home/you/work) automatically, you can reuse the same settings for all projects to be uploaded to /home/you/work.
