Hello TAG!

Im doing some PHP coding on my machine, and I have apache running on another machine. I setup'ed a shared folder, and everytime i want to test something, I put it on the shared folder, then change to the other machine (on a KVM switch), and do "sudo cp -r * \var\www" and "sudo rm -r *" (on the shared folder of course), then switch back to my machine, and so on.

Question is - is there any simple way of automatizing that? I didnt want complex systems, I wanted something that detected when there is any file in the shared folder, then moved it to /var/www.

So, any of you got something that does that?

Thanks for the attention

Deividson

inotify exists to do just that.

Why not just share your DocumentRoot or /var/www directly?

Didnt want to do that at the start, but ended up sharing it with a password. Thanks
