You need to do the init + add + commit steps locally.

Once you have done that you can do
bzr push aftp://<email address hidden>/bazaardirectory/workingdirectory
which will push your bzr history there.

You probbably want the bzr-upload plugin though, if you are publishing a
website.

Thank you very much Robert. I had the wrong workflow.. i am working
alone, but with a centralized server, so technically solo but not quite
the same.
Thanks again.

If you want to keep the project history on the remote server, you want the Centralized (or Centralized with local commits) workflow from the User guide.
Just remember you can't have a remote working tree, use the upload plugin for publishing changes.
Also, keep in mind that if you push to a publicly available location, anyone will be able to checkout your code, so be careful if you have database passwords or such in the history.

You can also keep the history on your local machine, and only `bzr upload` the actual files to the server. Use the Solo workflow for that.

If your problem is solved, would you please mark the question in Launchpad as Solved?

Hi all:

I had a similar problem when I pushed my branch to a server over bzr+ssh, and the copy in the remote server only had the .bzr folder in place, but not any of the files from my local machine that I committed, etc.
When attempting to do 'bzr update' I got the message:

bzr: ERROR: No WorkingTree exists for "file:///path_to_folder/.bzr/checkout/".

The solution to this issue is provided at the Bazaar (wiki) FAQ:
http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/FAQ#How%20to%20recreate%20working%20tree%20in%20a%20branch%20that%20was%20pushed%20over%20sftp?

In short:
just do a: 'bzr checkout .' inside that remote folder, and since then, 'bzr update' will update the remote working tree.

Btw, and fyi: the plugin push_and_update is very handy to easu the task to push revisions to remote hosts over ssh!
