rsync beats the hell out of ftp.

If you must use ftp, the only usable syncer I could find is sitecopy.
There are some perl scripts called mirror, but I could never get them
to behave in a useful way. Be warned that ftp syncing is an absolute
PITA and, depending on the particular run of ftp server you get, very
unreliable. There is no guarantee you'll be able to get the info as to
what is currently stored (in terms of files) on the server, ftp just
doesn't allow this. sitecopy gets around this by keeping track of what
is has copied before, so doesn't need to query what's on the server. Of
course, if it ever gets out of sync, ...

Use rsync if you possibly can. You will be saving yourself a lot of
trouble.
