seems to me you write a script, which in the hands of someone more
skillful than me should be trivial.

the basic algorithm is:

keep the stuff you want to sync in a separate tree (you are probably
doing this already)

keep some sort of record of what files were there last time you sync'd,
you could ls -lR, or keep md5 sums or whatever. recursively find the
files in the tree and md5sum all of them with a result in a known file.

sync script rechecks the same criteria by the same algorithm and diffs
with the last list. It the sends to the ftp server only what has changed
or is new. It then saves the latest file/md5sum list in the known file.

this assumes you only ever do your changes on the one computer. IE your
last known list must be authoritative. It needs nothing from the server
in terms of file info.
