Well,
I found a way – maybe it is so simple that this did not occur a problem for most readers who stumbled on my question…
For it’s worth, what I ended up doing was to export all my wp_tables via phpMyadmin (which is part of the XAMPP package) into a .zip archive which I downloaded to the other machine.
Then I opened phpMyadmin on the other machine, dropped all wp_tables from the database and then imported the archived tables into the database. There was no need to unzip the archive because that’s automatically done before uploading the tables.
Of course, there are still some things one has to do by copy and paste. For instance, if I use a new plugin, it has to be moved to the other WP install first – and they also have to be activated.
So far, however, this works for the synchronizing problem I had – I doubt whether synchronizing between a localhost and a server install will be that smooth…
Thanks for listening,
epOs
