    Do I Need Courier 2 or Will FTP Suffice?

    Courier

    Hi All,

    I have a client who is on a budget and they are asking if we can manage without Courier. I am very new to Umbraco so I'm not sure. Currently the site is static HTML but we want to use Umbraco (I have already started work on my localhost in preperation). We will setup hosting with EUKHost.com as I understand it is a one-click install for Umbraco on their shared packages.

    I am experienced with developing sites in HTML and uploading via FTP with either Dreamweaver or FileZilla. Can someone please let me know if I can manage the Umbraco site (uploading work done on my localhost to the live site) without Courier and if so, the best way to manage this. I am not experienced in managing databases and Windows servers so please bear that in mind.

    Thanks

    Adam

    Hi Adam

    The big different between a static html site and umbraco, is that umbraco doesn't store your content as files you can ftp, they are all in the database.

    So to transfer content changes from local, then you either need to copy over the database, or use Courier 2, and based on your experience with databases and servers, I would go with Courier to do that.
