Use SVN to Publish to FTP?
Greetings All,
Is it possible to run SVN on a server inside my companies LAN and
have it nightly publish any changes to the repository to a FTP
server? What would it take to make this happen?
Thanks,

Read about post-commit hooks:

Is nightly important? Is the machine hosting the svn repository Unix-like?
I wrote a php-based pre- or post- commit hook that will use ftp or sftp to
copy changes to one or more places (where to copy specified using a property
on the root repository directory). pre-commit is better for what I use it
for (copying changes in web pages from my development tree to a production
or test web server-- if the copy to the server fails for any reason, the
commit fails).
It's on SourceForge:
http://svn2web.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/svn2web/trunk/
... here's the README:
Subversion hook script to automatically copy committed files to a
server-in-the-sky.
Written in php.
HOW TO USE:
Install as a pre-commit hook. The hooks directory is
"root_of_repository/hooks", name must be "pre-commit" and it must be
executable. Also, the hook MUST set an appropriate PATH; svn2web uses
the following command-line programs:
php svnlook cp rm mkdir cd
If using ftp or sftp to upload files:
expect ftp sftp
Then, add a "svn2web" property to the branch or directory that should
get copied (e.g. on the trunk):
cd trunk
svn propset svn2web "sftp:username:password@machine:/path" .
svn commit -N -m "Upload commits to server." .
If a branch/directory should get copied multiple places, use svn
propedit and list each on a separate line.
Also, note that if a subdirectory has the svn2web property set, then
that setting OVERRIDES the parent's setting.
The put_ftp/put_sftp/remove_ftp/remove_sftp files must be executable,
and must be in the same directory as the svn2web utility.
EXAMPLE pre-commit HOOK:
-------------------------
#!/bin/bash
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
svn2web $1 $2 >> /tmp/svn2web.log || exit 1
exit 0

At this point, you're better off (IMO) making the remote server a
working copy and running svn up to pull updates from your Subversion
server, instead of pushing with FTP.

Use svn log.

Yes, if those files are under subversions control.

Yes.

I would write a perl script and run it from cron.
