Previously I'd used wwwsync (http://www.alfie.demon.co.uk/wwwsync/)

A new one on me - I'll need to take a look. I wrote a small program to do the same thing (update a remote site via FTP) which is now relatively stable and polished, you can find it at:

There's also a brief discussion of some of the other tools available at:

(PushSite's distinguishing features are (trivial) IDS, and can be set to run from 'cron')

you need a shell and rsync for rsync to work. There are tools like
mirror available though.

AIR mirror (along with Pavuk, getleft and many others) suck in a directory tree instead of pushing it to a remote site. (but they don't suck - if you get my drift).

The other key tool I use currently is Linbot (now Webcheck http://www.mired.org/webcheck/). Which takes a lot of the donkey work out of testing and maintaining a site.
