Hi Mike, Absolutely, that is exactly what I intended. Yes, I need to find software that automatically identifies what is different between the current release (residing on the client) and the current/new release (which we will give to clients). A good installer/release mgt software would typically do this job without requiring any manual intervention. So, I simply give this nice 'installer' or script to the client and perhaps not directly the plain vanilla files (.cfm, .cfc, etc.) and then it will do all the necessary things to upgrade the version.
I can log in directly to the deployment environments but I usually do so to install the first release of the software or if there is a major change involved. Typically, we submit files directly to clients and then let their administrators install the change as we instruct them.
