Well, the web-server is a different machine, but we have
full access to it. We run a drb server on the
web-server and installed clients on other machines. Users upload
stuff from their desktops to the webserver through this mechanism.
I remember Sean's advise that you may be able to use Capistrano
for this purpose. That may be worth checking out.
Anyway, I am attaching scripts for the client and servers
we use.
