Update site from local to remote

Hello
I have both CMSMS in local pc (using WAMP) and remote server. [Sorry bad english]
Remote is a copy from local.
Because of my slow internet connection, I'd rather work on my hard drive and then transfer the new information to the server.
Is this possible and easy? Would it be enough to generate a method for updating the database, or you also have to upload to the server another files?
Thanks

If you have the exact same folders/files in both just importing the DB would be enough, but if you add modules or images etc. you will need to upload those also...

You will also need to clear the imported site cache...

And beware that if the remote site is production you might loose some information like:

- statistics if you use a cmsms module for that
- Admin events
- search history
- anything else that is saved in the database
