I find myself spending too much time in synchronising the local website with the remote one, especially if more than one people is working on it...
File deletes,
File additions,
File moves,
File updates (very problematic if more than one person does it)...
Also there is the problem of file date/time. I'm in turkey, the other guy is in US, website is in UK...
I know there is a feature in Frontpage and also in Dreamweaver, but I found them too time consuming with my connection speed (64K cable)...
Currently we are re-designing a whole site in a different web space, moving files in subdirs etc. We try to separate our work in different areas, he does the HTM & graphics stuff and I do the coding, asp & includes. But at every stage I find myself checking and re-checking every file, which is too much time consuming and sometimes error come out.
How do you accomplish it in a safe way?

In some ftp application there's a sync feature. one can set time difference allowed, server and local time zones, folders/files to be ignored, sync method (local=>remote remote<=>local, or remove=>local) schedule run time, etc.
however I haven't used it for a while as my site is small in size. |

ah, for a team it's not easy to maintain with such a feature..
it will probably be fine if you don't work on same files. |

| I saw that in wftp pro, but it seemed quite dangerous to me. Also the is one script based utility in Homesite, but I couldn't manage it, it was quite complex... |

if you all share a sourcesafe database you can get ss to ftp deploy to sites, and that'll keep you all in sync. You'll also get the advantage of being able to rollback easily to previous versions of the site (if you get an error etc). It will also integrate with dreamweaver, to allow you all to use the same ss db.
Or did I misunderstand the question? |

| Beyond Compare has quite a nice compare facility between local and FTP where you can do things such like ignore the date time and do a CRC type check on the files etc, of course this type of compare is quite slow becuase it requires downloading each file, but there are a bunch of settings like Size only etc |
