Easy FTP mirroring

Hi,
I'm devellopping a website and I would like to easily mirror any file
that has changed or any new file to my ftp server.

Anybody know a good linux tool that can do it? Currently I have to
use gftp and upload the files I know that have changed, but I often make
mistakes and my website is getting bigger and bigger!...

Thanks in advance!

rsync is what you are looking for.

Or try mirrordir. Brilliant App, we use it to do mirroring for our ISP FTP
Mirror Servers.

Or "wget --mirror etc."

Hard to tell without any info? Do you have a shell on the box?
You might then use rsync trough ssh.

Else 'lftp' has options for this and works fine.

I see I have explained myself in wrong terms.

I only have a FTP acces to my host. I need to upload the files that are
on my computer to my host via FTP, and doing it in a mirroring way would
be excellent. I mean that I would like the program to only upload the
files that have changed or the new files.

rsync: doesn't seem to use the FTP protocol
mirrordir: couldn't find any info on this
wget: seems to only support downloads, while I need upload!


Thanks,
Xilo

lftp: does all this and more

Thought I mentioned this already...
