It sounds like you're on the right track, though changing operating systems is inevitably going to add some difficulties here and there.  But I do roughly the same thing.&lt;p&gt;
The key to make it work for me was to arrange the scripts, templates and modules so that everything was under one root directory that I could upload via rsync.  That way I didn't mistakenly upload some pieces and not others and loose time debugging that kind of problem.&lt;p&gt;
If the site you are building is live, I'd suggest uploading to some kind of staging area, then cutting over to the live site after a quick test.  Changing environments often reveals things that even diligent local testing won't find.</field>
