Comment:

 Hmm, it will take some time to do, but it could be done.

 The obvious problem is the dataconnections which have local settings (as
 you point out).

 I imagine that a user can perform this on a map, a weblayout or a fusion
 application.

 A progress bar would show while evaluating what items to update.

 A dialog should show the required changes (overwrites).
 The user should be able to de-select a change, and featuresource
 overwrites should be disabled, if the featuresource is using external
 data. This can be determined by looking for the %MG_DATA_FILES% string in
 the connection properties.

 When the user clicks OK, simply copy all resources to the remote server.
 Perhaps it would be more efficient to just roll a package and send that to
 the server.

 Permissions are tricky, because the users may not exist on the remote
 server. For starters, permissions could be ignored.
