Sounds you would want a script-able solution, like a command line ftp client. Should be plenty around. (You didn't say what OS you're using, so don't expect a lot of client suggestions :) You'd write a shell script/batch file that copies a sandbox tree over ftp to your web server (excluding all CVS directories). You could also think about your procedure. Usually I run a local web server for test purposes from my sandbox, and then the CVS directories don't bother me at all. Once I'm done testing, I commit -- and this can then go automatically to a test site on the production server (through server-side scripts). Or I use the cvs export command to create a clean release code that I can zip up and send to the client. Gerhard
