What is the quickest way to upload my source code to a remote computer?

Whats the quickest method to upload changes in local source code to a remote Windows PC?

FTP just doesn't cut it: it might take 2 minutes to create 100 tiny little files, whereas if these files were zipped up, transferred and then unzipped on the remote computer, it would take seconds.

Ideally, I want some solution that can:

  • Zip up the changes that I've made to the source code tree (excluding certain file extensions such as *.pdb).
  • Upload the zip to a remote PC.
  • Let the remote PC unzip the changes into the source code directory.
Solution

  • Mercurial or Git Mercurial has an inbuilt Web Server. These only push/pull changes.
