    hello, ihave some questions i can’t find answers anywhere,
    i have made a wp blog on my localy, uploaded the blog to a test server….my questions are these:

    1. is there a way to only upload the files that i modify, i’m using filezilla?
    2.when i upload the new files do i need to upload the database again?

    1. You can select only those files you’ve edited and upload those. If you want the process to be more automated I think you can upload selected files based on their timestamp.

    In truth FTP isn’t the best tool to deploy updated files. The use of version control systems, dedicated deployment services and good old rsync are all much better than FTP. Each comes with a learning curve.

    2. You don’t need to upload the database unless you want local changes to be reflected on the remote server.
