What do you use to upload your files (code/documents) to a live server?

Question

rsync
zsync

Is there any other better sync/backup tool available on linux. I have a local installation of my site, a wiki. I wish to make changes to my local site both in terms of wiki content/ and plugins/templates, and then just wish to press a button :D or run the command over a folder, it should check for the diff for my local files vs live-site files, and does the needful in the direction i wish. Lets say only one direction from local-machine to live-site.
That is why filezilla/ cuteFTP will not work for as they donot perform any Diff, will very inefficiently just replace the full folder.
It will be awesome if there is any frontend available to rsync/zsync. Preferably zsync as the site, it is tweaked for http transfers.

Answer 1

You could use a distributed version control system such as Mercurial or git. Then you would make your changes, commit to your local repository, and then push the changes to your server.
