How to sync files over ftp

[graudeejs]

I'd like to be able to sync my homepage files from disk to remote server, which i can only access as regular user....
I can access it via ftp://

What would you suggest

P.S. i'd prefer build in tools, or minimalistic text based program

It's not built in but www/wget might be able to do it, this and the programs documentation would be a starting point.

Suggestions, as starting points.

What comes o mind is to build two tables, obe of the files of the remote server, one for the disk, identify differences then put the files which differ or are to be added.

Easier said than done.
So far, I checked (see manpages for the switches):

FTP connect, then
ls -agRT

Try this also
wget -r --spider -nv --user=${me} --password=${my_passwd} ftp://localhost/public_html/${mysite}/*


With ls, all files have relevant info such as size (and date) but I don't seem to be able to prepend the full path.
With wget, as entered, all files of the site are tested - with full path - and a directory tree is created locally. I don't seem to be able to redirect the tertminal output to a file though.

Normally, presence providers should provide tools to perform a sync, so, either change presence provider or have fun!
