Hi I agree, if you have a linux server, then rsync might be a possibility! Ask google for "rsync ssh no password" and you will find eg this site: https://blogs.oracle.com/jkini/entry/how_to_scp_scp_and If you then run something like: rsync --rsh=ssh -abv user@server:/home/me/pathtowiki/ /Users/me/pathtowiki/ Principally you can run this both ways....
But: The main problem are most probably the owner rights of the files, that are changed if you do it this way, and finally you will end up in a mess, because the files created by the webserver belong to the webserver - eg the files in upload and wiki.d. The webserver-user is called www-data on debian systems, _www (note the underscore) on macs, both have no home and no password, therefore it would be a terrible and insecure hack to rsync or scp as user _www to www-data@server:/pathtowiki/ And, don't try this on your existing pmwiki, you might loose all your data....
