Upgrading Drupal 7 version from DEV to PROD I've updated from Drupal 7.22 to 7.34 on my Development Machine along with some Module updates. Now I am going to update my Production environment.

Question: Do I have to upload the entire root directory or can I just upload the Sites folder? I'm assuming I have to upload the entire root directory as this is a Drupal 7 version core update.

P.S. Got the database update stuff covered.
P.S.S Would use Drush, but I'm just not comfortable with it yet.

Regards,

John
Even thought you said that you are not comfortable with Drush. I would strongly suggest for you to used Drush to update your modules and core. Its just easier and faster. If you decide to give  a try you can update modules and core by running.

drush up -y


If you want to update just the core use drush up drupal -y

You can upload a copy of the latest Drupal version on your production website and then replace sites folder with your dev sites folders. And this would take care of Drupal Core updates.
