Site Migration/Transfer commands

[rahul286]

Copy/move sites to/from:

1. FTP-Server (without shell access)
2. Rysnc (with shell access)
3. Local Dir (cp/rsync command)

I started fantasizing about this as soon as I discovered EE. I think a CLI tool (distributed via NPM, perhaps) would be an excellent complement... allowing us to not only manage the remote server from a local shell but also duplicate a site down to a local environment... maybe even build a Vagrant box around it?

I actually started something exactly along these lines but it's gotten a bit backburnered for the time being.

What about migrating or changing a site created in ee that was built out using dev.example.com and you now what it updated to example.com as it's going live? I didn't see in the documentation a command that would update ee to support such a move/rename of the host/domain/site while keeping the web root, files, database linked. For the time being, I have left clients in dev.example.com and simply adjusted the server block for nginx and the wp config details for the site.

[joeguilmette]

I think this is a pretty good idea, a command to change the domain name of a site on the server.
