[support] Keeping dev and live site in sync

[Ms. Nancy Wichmann]

I believe he's mostly concerned with new content and users getting pushed down to his dev instance.

Option D: Use the Feeds module to pull down the new / modified stuff.

I'm not sure how you get files that are not fielded.

Currently, I ftp all of the files and db tables to my local computer and use MAMP to run my development site.
