My 2 cents...
I like to use a combination of subversion and ant to do this sort of
stuff.... I use ant to push files to the development server...
The nice thing is that your ant script becomes part of the code that you
check into SVN.
So i typically have a command prompt open to the directory with my
checked out SVN tree. I type something like "ant dev" and the code gets
pushed to the dev server.
I test, and when I'm happy i run "ant prod" and the code gets copied to
the production server.
I also have the ant script do any cache clearing that needs to be done.
I also set things up so that an "ant prod" forces a subversion update
and commit, which means that nobody can push to production without
accidentally undoing someone else's changes.

Subversion can do that on commit. You have a subversion server, and it
accepts the commit, and then it has a post-commit script, that will
update the working copy that the test server serves.
This happens virtually instantly. I cannot tell you how valuable a
system like subversion is. Even if for just one guy, but if you have
multiple people working on code, it is necessary.

Cheers. I'll look into that. May well be the problem.
You will avoid a lot of headaches by
editing locally and saving to server.
The server in question is in the next room. It is the dev server. So
I save
to it and test immediately.
Saving locally and then having to move the file to the server just adds
another step. I am presently doing this but it is a pain in the but for
debugging. I often save and forget to move the file before testing.
It is
exactly this I am trying to avoid.
