I'm new to drupal (using ver 7.22). I created a test site on my localhost and want to upload it to the server (via FTP). I understand how to export the local drupal database and import it on the server... and how to update settings.php. My question is, what folders / files do I upload to the server? My drupal files are in www/drupal. I have searched for an answer and it sounds like you're supposed to upload the whole drupal folder (all files, subfolders). That seems like overkill. For example, if I add a of couple article nodes locally and then want to update the server, I'm supposed to upload the entire drupal folder? I'm used to the standard web model where I upload individual files (.htm, .php, .css) as needed.
Thanks Bill
