Export org-mode to .ics (on FTP-Server)

Export org-mode to .ics (on FTP-Server)

[phil]

Hello,

I'm using org-mode to keep track of my todos & events & to store  
stuff. I've an org-mode file (events.org) that contains all upcoming  
events (music, sports...).

I've setup my blog to show the next events that are taken from a .ics- 
file, that is stored on my webserver.

So the current workflow is:

1. Editing my events.org-file
2. Exporting this file to an .ics
3. Uploading the .ics file to my webserver using FTP

QUESTION:
Is it possibile to upload the .ics file after exporting in one step  
from emacs?

Maybe doing it from Emacs is not as straightforward as doing it with a
simple script.

Here is an example of such a script -- it launches Emacs in batch mode,
takes your-calendar.org, converts it into a .ics file, then upload this
file to a remote host with rsync.

========================================================================
#!/bin/bash

/usr/local/bin/emacs --batch --eval \
"(progn (load-file \"~/elisp/org/org.el\") \
        (load-file \"~/elisp/org/org-install.el\") \
        (load-file \"~/elisp/org-batch-config.el\") \
        (setq org-icalendar-combined-name \"Your Calendar\") \
        (setq org-combined-agenda-icalendar-file \"~/org/cal/your-calendar.ics\") \
        (setq org-agenda-files (quote (\"~/org/cal/your-calendar.org\"))))" \
    -f org-export-icalendar-combine-agenda-files

/usr/bin/rsync -rtv ~/org/cal/your-calendar.ics -e ssh login@host:/home/login/cal/
