Try having your repository as a remote repo[2] using ssh as your :ext: method[1] with CVS for your local work and use ssh to login and do either `cvs update` or `cvs export` on your web server. Note that depending on your IDE you may be able to integrate it directly into calling CVS[3], if you have cvs setup as a remote repository.
