8,097 PointsI assume your using something like WAMP to develop your site locally. I myself use BackupBuddy to migrate all my sites between local and live, or between domains / hosting. The process is extremely fast and easy and saves me the hassle to constantly copy the files and change the databases.
You can always only upload the files you changed, but this can be risky. Best thing is to develop locally until all changes are final and then go live.
