In order to upload files to the website, I have to do this:
1. Use WinSCP to log in to the server as myself and transfer files from my
PC to my home directory on the server.
2. Use PuTTY to log in to the server as myself, then su as root, and from
the command line move the files from my home directory to the website's
directory.
$ svn commit -m "Important bugfixes" myproject
Now ssh to webserver:
$ su -
# cd /usr/local/myproject
# svn up
The part about no ftp access and no root login is not unreasonable,
it's standard practice for many production systems. The part where you
move files around rather than using version control is a recipe for
disaster.
Couldn't agree more. Consider looking into Bazaar (distributed version
control). Once you've set it up on your desktop and server, you can:
$ bzr -ci -m "Important bugfixes"
$ bzr push
// which will use your 'remembered' sftp address
// and then on the server,
# bzr pull
// which grabs the latest from the 'remembered' home directory
