  My preferred method is maintain an internal test site - I.E. on my
  local network workstation and upload changes as they are
  finalized.

  My projects are configured so that each has a utility that maps
  all dependencies of files composing that project so that when I
  upload any one file, any dependencies are also uploaded. (sort of
  a "makefile" for FTP).

  Is there a drupal module that would would enable something like that?
    
  To illustrate, let's say I have an internal test site at
  http://localhost/timslocal and I upload tested changes (with
  dependencies also) to http://www.tj49.com/timsremote

 :) Thank you
