Hello Jarmo,

it may be useful to look into the publishing scheme of org-mode.
Export = export a single file
Publish = publish a set of files. More extensive configuration
capabilities. Can also be used to publish single file.

Publish provides very extensive configuration capabilities, which include a
preparation-function and a completion-function hook. The completion
function can be used to ftp or rsync or otherwise copy data to the target
directory. Have a look at:

http://orgmode.org/worg/doc.html search for: org-publish-project-alist. In
that section you will find following passage:

  `:publishing-function'

    Function to publish file.  Each back-end may define its
    own (i.e. `org-latex-publish-to-pdf',
    `org-html-publish-to-html').  May be a list of functions, in
    which case each function in the list is invoked in turn.

Another property allows you to insert code that prepares
a project for publishing.  For example, you could call GNU Make
on a certain makefile, to ensure published files are built up to
date.

  `:preparation-function'

    Function to be called before publishing this project.  This
    may also be a list of functions.

  `:completion-function'

    Function to be called after publishing this project.  This
    may also be a list of functions.

You will find more info in the orgmode manual here:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Configuration.html#Configuration
and here:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Sources-and-destinations.html#Sources-and-destinations
and in further related parts linked-to from the above.

Hopefully the above is useful.

Best,
Iannis Zannos
