When done, publish. For small sites, uploading pages one at a time as completed, or in small batches, is fine. Is that what you suggest?
Perhaps I'm missing a better paradigm, here. I like the idea of more
Ideally the authoring program would support sftp directly so that it could upload changed pages to the server. Quanta Plus can do this, and is included in the kdewebdev package in FC3.
Alternatively, you could maintain a local copy of the site and then use an intelligent ftp client like lftp to synchronise the version on the web server. lftp can also use the sftp protocol.
Thank you. In all the searches I've done for web authoring programs for Fedora, I somehow missed Quanta. On first glance, it seems to be more powerful than NVU. Between exploring its possibilities and configuring sftp, I guess I have my next work defined.
