synchronizing file names across servers

Question

I have a development & production server and some large video files. The large files need to be renamed. I don't know how to automatically change the file names in the production environment when I change their name in the development environment. I think using git is very inefficient for large files.

On the development environment I copied only the first 5 seconds of the videos. I'll be using Django with South to synchronize the database and git to synchronize the code.

Answer 1

If the names on the development and production server are the same, then record the rename commands in a shell-script.

You can run that on both the development and the production server...
