rsync
I sync my picture folders and my music and documents to my backup server via rsync.
I use ssh on my server. Rsync is fast way of syncing my files.
Here is the commend line
-
rsync -vrutzp –exclude=.DS_Store -e "ssh -p 22" /Users/swape/Sites me@myserver.com:/home/mysite
I use:
- (–exclude=.DS_Store) to exclude the mac files
- (-e “ssh -p 22″) to use SSH port 22
- (/Users/swape/Sites) my local directory
- (me@myserver.com:/home/mysite) my server
- (-v) verbose mode to see the output
- (-r) recursive into directories
- (-u) using update mode
- (-t) preserve modification times
- (-z) compress file data during the transfer
- (-p) preserve permissions
After writing this to my console I enter the password for my server and its done!
This is the fastest way of updating my site from my local disk.
The good thing about this that I use -u so it does not upload the files that have not been changed on my local disk. You can also drop the -v and make an Automator app but then you have to make the public key for your ssh connection so you don’t have to enter the password each time you running the app.
Here is a link to manual on how to make public key http://sial.org/howto/openssh/publickey-auth/
And this is the rsync manual http://samba.anu.edu.au/ftp/rsync/rsync.html

Horizontal menu
Here is an old trick to make horizontal menu with CSS.
First you have to make a list with UL and LI tags.
-
-
<ul class="menu">
-
</ul>
-
Ok here is a list. Now we must make the list items to be horizontal and not vertical. So we must use CSS to set the float to be left and make the list-style: none;
-
.menu li{ float: left; list-style: none; }
Then we must make them look like a buttons. So we add some borders and padding and margins. Then the whole CSS code look like this:
-
.menu li{
-
float: left;
-
list-style: none;
-
font: 10px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
-
}
-
.menu li a {
-
display:block;
-
padding:3px;
-
margin:1px;
-
border:1px solid #ccc;
-
text-decoration:none;
-
color:#332;
-
background-color: #EEE;
-
}
-
.menu li a:hover{
-
color:#EEE;
-
background-color: #331;
-
}
