(ssh?, ftp? what?) If you pull http://github.com/dpp/lift-samples/tree/master you'll find a big tarball with a Jetty instance in it. You can deploy your app by putting the WAR file in the webapp directory (please rename it to root.war). You can start and stop Jetty with ./start_prod.sh and ./stop_prod.sh This will give you a jetty instance running on port 9910. To deploy apps, scp the WAR file to your home directory. ssh onto the box, cd into the jetty directory. Stop the server. Copy the WAR file from your home directory into webapp (remembering to rename it to root.war.) In terms of going from raw box to box that has Nginx, Java, etc... you ssh -AX into the box. If you're running Ubuntu, you can install synaptic using "apt-get install synaptic" Once you've got synaptic installed, type "synaptic" and you'll get a nice GUI package installer. Make sure you enable all the repositories (e.g., Multiverse, etc.). Find the jdk-6 (or jdk-1.6), NGinix, etc. packages and install them. Create a non-root user and add that user to the sudoers file. Always log in via that user. You'll have to wire up Nginx to proxy http requests to localhost:9910 to go against your running Jetty instance. You might also look at http://stax.net There are also providers or Tomcat hosting and similar VPS for the JVM world that will make things a lot easier.
