Luke smith... Rsync

Rsync can partially copy files and make transfers easier
If copying with rsync ssh you need rsync installed on both servers
	cp file newfile # standard copy method
	rsync file newnewfile # basic rsync copy
	
	rsync file desktop: # Copy to some other ssh server "desktop" at $HOME
	rsync -rv # Shows what files are transferred + size - copy recursively

Can only sync relevant files if only certain files have changed
	rsync -urv newdir desktop: # Upload only changes to this directory
	rsync -uvrP --delete-after newdir desktop: # Move content example
	# -P tells it to send files partially (to restart on failure) and show progress

	# -a = archive mode - preserves permissions/metadata

On my own website I can do the following:
	# OLD METHOD
	scp -r html/* SERVER:./site/

	# NEW METHOD
	#  Added to my compiler to add date stamps to files
	newfile=`echo ${1%.*}.html | sed 's|^\./||'`
	touch -d "$(echo $newfile | cut -d' ' -f1) 12:00" ./html/"$newfile"

	rsync -uvrtP html/* SERVER:./site/

	# Unless you set the TIME to not be 00:00, timezones will mess things up
