deploy just one file update.

[John V Denley]

I cant seem to find any information anywhere about how to deploy/
upload just one file.

Its possible I'm not looking in the right places, but also I use
eclipse so I have never had to do any manual manipulation of any
files.

The Simplest example of what I want to do is to simply update the
standard.css file with a new setting, without having to deploy the
entire application.

Or equally I might need to make a small change to my <appname>.html
file but without having to deploy the entire application.

This is similar to doing an FTP to my hosting server, but as I say I
cant seem to find any information about how to do this with app
engine!

Any help pointing me in the right direction on this would be greatly
appreciated

Thanks,
J

Hi John,

The upload tool (appcfg) only updates modified files. Files that have been uploaded previously are checked for modifications, but not uploaded.

Hi Nick,

Thanks, I actually just noticed that on my last update. So my question really should have been, how can I run the "deploy" without running the "compile" bit in eclipse (or out of eclipse) if thats whats needed?

so on the following log entries, how can I only do the bit from "Uploading 1 files." onwards?:
