Question

I don't need a recommendation, but need a tool name or at least name of such tools (probably, language barrier).

I am looking for a tool which will help me to deploy project to the server.

What I am doing now?

work with project
work with base
turn off site (under construction)
open my monstrous ftp and upload ALL files (1000+ with media)
update database
turn on site

What I am looking for?

So, I am looking for a tool, which will compare snapshot of the files on the server and on my working folder (like GitHub or any other svn) and will only:

upload new files
upload and rewrite old files, which has some editions
highly prefer upload the database on the server

Explanation / Answer

Have you tried Heroku before? You can push to it just like github.

Well, you can do the same on your own host if you have root access by installing git and setting up a hook that will check out the code to your webserver's folder. A detailed how-to for this can be found here on Toroid.ORG.
