I've been using sitecopy (there's a Windows command-line port) with some success.
On this topic, my 2c: we're using sitecopy, but we're observing some odd, though consistent, behaviour. Short version: - 'sitecopy --fetch test' with protocol ftp is BROKEN: it gets all filenames as duplicates. - 'sitecopy --fetch test' with protocol webdav works just fine. - 'sitecopy --synch test' with protocol webdav is BROKEN: all Page Templates fail with 500 internal error. - 'sitecopy --synch test' with protocol ftp works just fine. Therefore, this way of working works: - Fetch via webdav, edit .sitecopyrc, and synch and update via ftp. If you need to fetch again (added objects Zopeside), go back to step 1. Other caveat: sitecopy seems to ignore ~/.netrc for ftp (requires username and password in ~/.sitecopyrc), but not for webdav. Long version: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is the relevant ~/.sitecopyrc stanza: ------------------------------------------------------------------ site test server localhost # '--synch' and '--update' via ftp # port 10021 # protocol ftp # '--fetch' via webdav port 10900 protocol webdav remote /zpt local /home/jean/work/feko-website/zpt state timesize username jean password xxxx nodelete # not everything is downloaded: don't delete those # files on the server exclude /acl_users exclude MailHost exclude *~ exclude *.swp ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fetch attempt via ftp: ------------------------------------------------------------------ [jean@blommie sitecopy-test]$ sitecopy --fetch test sitecopy: Fetching site `test' (on localhost in /zpt/) [...] File: apl_ant_pla.htm - size 7010 File: apl_ant_pla.htm - size 7010 File: apl_ant_des.htm - size 12058 File: apl_ant_des.htm - size 12058 Directory: faq/ Directory: faq/ Directory: images/ Directory: interface/ Directory: interface/ Directory: popups/ Directory: popups/ sitecopy: Fetch completed successfully. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Corresponding Zope log: ------------------------------------------------------------------ 127.0.0.14327 ==> 220 blommie FTP server (Medusa Async V1.13 [experimental]) ready. 127.0.0.14327 <== USER jean 127.0.0.14327 ==> 331 Password required. 127.0.0.14327 <== PASS <password> 127.0.0.14327 ==> 230 Login successful. 127.0.0.14327 <== PASV 127.0.0.14327 ==> 227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,16,232) 127.0.0.14327 <== LIST -laR /zpt/ 127.0.0.14327 ==> 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list 127.0.0.14327 ==> 226 Transfer complete 127.0.0.14327 <== QUIT 127.0.0.14327 ==> 221 Goodbye. ------------------------------------------------------------------ A subsequent ftp synch fails when trying to create directories repeatedly.
