For development purposes I have a typo3 installation, and what will
eventually become a live site on another server. Each new feature and
extension I first install, develop and test on the development system
and then transfer it to the live site. Also the content is maintained on
the development machine, mainly because of performance aspects.

Now there are minor differences between the installations, e.g. the
baseURL configuration parameter. Therefore I cannot just copy the whole
database content - either I copy it selectively or I manually have to
re-enter the differing parameters and settings. Both is error-prone.

To make things worse, I do not have shell access to the live system,
only FTP, so I cannot install a diff and patch mechanism on the the
target system.

How do you proceed in similar situations?
