I copied the TiddlyWiki to a WebDav folder on a shared host server. So
far so good...

Lets say you have a WebDav server. Lets say you don't have a WebDav server, but you have an FTP server. (Lets also say that you have MS Windows) Okay so you have somewhere to post files, semi-slick, right?

Now lets say that you want to open you TiddlyWiki file from your server and edit it like its a local file within your browser. Impossible? Nah. Here's how you can do the impossible:

The solution is Novell NetDrive (5 MB). I found it here: http://www.acs.uwosh.edu/novell/netdrive.htm   You can Google it to download also, its free and works great (at least it has for the full ten minutes that I've used it :).

Install it and run it. It will allow you to map a webdav folder or an ftp site as a local drive. Let me repeat this (as it _is_ pretty cool)

Map an FTP server as local drive.

Map a WebDav server as local drive.

Then, you can just drag you TiddlyWiki over, open it in your browser and uedit it. Nice? Right. Very. Now follow this link and show your gratitude: http://tiddlywiki.com/#ThankYou

(Or just share the info and help others along the way)

lets say you run linux, you have images in images/ directory, you have
rsync on both your linux box and remote server.. here is how i do
rsyncing:

inside the directory tid_dir where tiddlywiki index.html is together
with images/ dir i have this shell script:

{{{

#!/bin/bash

cd ..
rsync -avR --delete tid_dir
user...@remote.server.com:/path/to/up/dir/from/the/desired/one

}}}

you must run it from the tid_dir !
it changes the beauty from one file to one dir, but i like to have
images in tiddlyblog ;)

p.s. i think i will make greasemonkey script to parse mails from
Tiddl...@googlegroups.com against TiddlyWili syntax.. (just joking)
