I have built a website, with a batch of source files and a database script. They are under SVN control on my local machine. Now I have brought a host. The host provides ftp and ssh tools. I will need to upload my source files via ftp. Before that I need to remove SVN control so I can save the effort of uploading a lot of SVN version-control files. I also need to run the database script to create the database and layout tables.
In the future, every time I make changes of the website, I will have to upload the files again. Since it will be hard to track which files I modify, I will simply upload every file. Of course I will need to remove the SVN control before doing that.
I can see my way isn't a very efficient way. Is there any routine way you guys maintain your websites? I am using justhost service. If you have any tutorial using their config to save the work, please also let me know. I am new to this so any help is welcomed. Thank you very much.
