To achieve that I use
- Dropbox => this will be used to synchronize all files to any computer
- Apache => You will need this because IIS not support user_dir mod
- PHP ( this will depend on what kind server-side language do you use)
For the first step install Dropbox on your computer. After that install Apache web server.
Now create directory public_html under your dropbox folder.
Dropbox folder at my computer located at "C:\Users\Ronaldo\Documents\My Dropbox" for newer version the dropbox folder located at "C:\Users\
Now uncomment this lines at httpd.conf
LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so
and
Include conf/extra/httpd-userdir.conf
now the edit the httpd-userdir.conf , here my httpd-userdir.conf looks like
# Settings for user home directories
#
# Required module: mod_userdir
#
# UserDir: The name of the directory that is appended onto a user's home
# directory if a ~user request is received. Note that you must also set
# the default access control for these directories, as in the example below.
#
UserDir "C:/Users/*/Documents/My Dropbox/public_html"
#
# Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example
# for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only.
#

restart the apache web server service. After that, access your home directory web, http://localhost/~username,
so for me it will be http://locahost/~ronaldo , after that put the website that you will develop under your public_html folder, which locate inside your Dropbox folder. Dropbox will synchronize every changes under it own directory.
NOTE: This is for development only..
