localhost development with remote update

[paulmac]

I have a sad  internet connection, which makes editing a site remotely a bit painful, especially if I'm adding or editing alot of news/articles/images to my site. How about being able to do all your editing on a localhost, MSAS http://mamboforge.net/projects/msas/ for example, then when your finished, click "Update Remote Host" and the database is update as well as any new images/files uploaded to the remote host!(while you went away to make a coffee or go wee wee  )

This would make Mambo a screamer of a cms and make updating sites for the bandwidth challanged like me a lot less frustrating! Also, I think this would be an good idea as it would mean that you had a complete backup of your site stored on your own computer.

Just a thought anyway.

whilst that would be cool - it would be more complex that you think - as you would have to somehow sync the two databases together, mysql has a replication function but I've always had rahter mixed results trying to implement it.

One other idea is to run the site locally and point it at the live sites database - again only possible if you have a fixed ip address for your web site.
