For the process in step 2, above - i.e. synchronize the local, generated HTML with the htdocs folder on the server - I use rsync under Bash (under either Cygwin or Linux).  The biggest problem I have with that is remembering which command line switches to use.

Something like 

 rsync -e ssh path user@host:/path

will do the synchronization over SSH, and if you use ssh-agent, .ssh/authorized-keys, etc you can can authenticate transparently using a key-pair, so it is a single command line to update the server. 

I'm thinking a Zim plugin to automate that process might be good at least until I can get SSHFS working reliably under WinXP.  

On the Linux box, it's possible to map the Zim working directories to a FUSE file system which can be mounted using sshfs and the ssh-agent key management (for transparency).
