## Not run: 
# # to sync to a server 'myshinyserver.org' with login 'user'
# # need: passwordless ssh for [e-mail])
# # need: rsync installed on local machine
# # (these should both be easy to do with local linux / OS X)
# 
# # set up a connection to a shiny server
# webConn(user = "hafen", ip = "myshinyserver.org", name = "myapp")
# 
# # webSync() uses rsync to sync your local vdb
# # to the one on your shiny server pointed to with webConn()
# webSync()
# 
# # if shiny server is running on the remote on port 3838
# # then the VDB will now be viewable at
# browseURL("http://myshinyserver.org:3838/myapp")
