I think it would be pretty simple to write a CF application to manage your
site updates. Keep a database of the files, with full path, last modified
timestamp, and timestamp on the file when it was last uploaded. Use CFFTP
to copy the content up to the server. Once you upload a file to the remote
server (and you know the transfer was successful), record the modification
timestamp of the local file in your database. Once the timestamp on the
local file differes from that in your db, you know you need to upload the
file.
You'd pick up new files, and find deleted content by using CFDIRECTORY to
traverse your local directory tree, looking for new files and detecting
files that have been deleted (a name change is essentially a delete, then an
add from both your database and the remote server).
You could do this in either one or two steps. Probably best to do it in
two: Traverse the directory tree, and make queries to your database, looking
for differences and creating a list of files to be uploaded and deleted from
the remote server. Then perform the FTP in the second step.
