Great suggestion... took a bit of programming!

I simply use the rsync command, it works for multiple sites, partial sites, only doing the changed files, and it can use SFTP for secure transfers, and it requires no additional software.

I bet that's what our friends at apple use for .mac

An update: I've played around a bit since writing this hint. I tried the rsync suggestions, especially as it is one of my favourite command line tools for automation of backup (via launchd using lingon ) but:

I've modified the process so that iWeb places a dummy file in the root of the site folder to be mirrored, then this file is deleted after the Transmit process completes. That way it's no longer necessary to delete the entire contents of the site folder and recreate each time iWeb publishes.

There's a full write up on my personal website

Too lazy to think of an original signoff...
