At Code Positive, it is a standard practice to login to client's server via ssh and check out the code from Code+ server if their site is not hosted by Code+. Instead of uploading hundreds of damn files, it is a smart and efficient way of copying all the latest files to client's server.
Since I now have my own server and clients, I've been trying to set up this process myself. Here's my note (largely for myself) on how to do it.
Prerequisite:
- You have your own *nix server / ability to add new users
- You have access to your server via ssh
- Your client has a *nix server and is accessible via ssh
- Your client's web server has svn client installed
