Upload only changed iWeb files without .Mac

Though the sync method is probably faster, you can actually publish directly to a webserver using WebDAV. If you have a WebDAV share mounted, just point to that as the "local folder" to publish to. Of course, using this method, you are pushing the whole site to the server, where publishing to a "real" local folder, then using rsync to upload the changes, is probably faster.

Have you actually tested using WebDAV? I did when iWeb first came out and it didn't work. I forget what the error was, but it failed to publish to the mounted folder. Tell me I'm wrong, please.

Indeed I have. It's the primary way that I publish in iWeb. Initially, the permissions on the realm need tweaking, especially when you are getting into sub-folders, but it does work. Verify you can write to the share (after authenticating based on the permissions you set).

Actually, you can set CaptainFTP to ignore file creation dates, and it will make a
comparison of file sizes and transfer only ones that have changed. I've found a
couple of times when this results in a mistake (when the file sizes happen to be
exactly the same), but that is extremely infrequent.
