I use ftp all the time to drag and drop updated files. Generally just
the changed files in the pages folder. Of course as Kevin pointed out,
you will also need to keep in sync any other stuff you change: config
files, images in your files folder, the code barn, plugins, etc. But
these only as needed.

BoltWire won't have any problem with you doing this as much as you
want. The only exception is you have to watch out for overwriting
changes made online, and you will have to re-index pages added via
ftp. I suppose we could easily enough create a site.index.recent page
that lists all the pages modified in the last 24 hours or something
and add them to the index list. Just copy over and modify the
site.index page. Then, whenever you do an upload, just remember to go
to that page and click the button to generate the list of pages.

Just a thought!

Cheers
Dan
