I used vs2008/build/publish to copy my files from my computer to my web
site.

Now I want to update a file or two.

Should I use a general ftp client like FreeFtp or is there a better way?

I would expect that vs2008 might have the capability to synchronize the
remote site automatically but I did not find it.

My first look at my site I didn't see any .vb files. If you expect them not
to be there I'd like to know why not. Could be I need to look better.

Thanks in advance

Simply make the changes you need on your local copy of the site and
re-publish again with VS 2008 just like you did the first time.

Do yourself a *HUGE* favour and get Web Deployment Projects:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?rlz=1C1CHMA_en-GBGB328GB328&aq=0&oq=Web+Deployment+Project+2008&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=web+deployment+project+2008+sp1

That's what I do.

It doesn't.

That will depend on the compilation options you used to build the site:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rlz=1C1CHMA_en-GBGB328GB328&q=%22ASP.NET%22+compilation+options&btnG=Search&meta=&aq=f&oq=

Again, this is a lot easier with WDP...

Seems a shame to upload so many unchanged files.

Thanks for your input

There are other ways to selectively upload the files you want (any FTP
program will do), but depending on the changes you've made and whether
you've made a web site or web project, you'll also need to upload more than
just the .aspx files. I belive that VS will let you pick and choose options
like "only files that have been changed" or "all files", etc. You shouldn't
have to upload the whole site again.
