Reducing Upload (FTP) Size

PHPRunner General questions

My uploads are extremely slow, partly because my upload connection is poor and partly because I have a great many files (1500) to send each time. I can't make best use of the 'send updated files' option because I maintain a number of sites with the same PHPRUNNER system, and the change management only works for the most recent site.
Of the 1,500 files, 380 are associated with FCK EDITOR in the plugins folder. I don't suppose there is some way to tell PHPRUNNER to not upload the plugins folder? It never changes, of course. Or is there any other way of configuring PHPRUNNER to reduce the number of files - for instance, to keep track of what its uploaded to more that one site?
Or, could the runtime output of PHPRUNNER be configured so that it shared a single instance of FCK EDITOR placed somewhere outside the that instance's tree, if you know what I mean. It would be great to share FCK EDITOR between sites rather than have a number of repetitions.
I use PHPRUNNER 5.0.
Thanks,

Chris

Chris,
thank you for sharing your idea.

We'll add it to our suggestion list.

It may not work for you but here are my two cents...
For each 'similar' project I copy the whole project directory (all subdirectories, etc.) and there I change the upload address. Of course, sometimes changes (or cross-changes or else) must be done in some of the 'similar' projects and so I've got some 'parallel projects' or even project lines thus a good change track must be kept. Still it's a lesser problem than such as you describe...

Each time I upload my build files, I use Windows ZIP file program and ZIP all the files in the output directory. Then I upload the zip file to my web site file manager in a new folder www.whatever.com/projectfoldername and then extract the contents. This method is much faster than using the FTP function.
