Don't forget rsync.

I really like filezilla. It's F/OSS and cross-platform. The interface
is a bit odd in some places but for things like synchronizing & site
management (for multiple sites) it's easy to set up. The cross-platform
part just flattened the learning curve.

Before moving to filezilla, I used winscp which should also fit the bill.

I didn't know it could do that. When did they sneak that function in?
Perhaps I have just been an old blind sod :) Cool.

I use Syncback [avert your eyes] the payware version, to run scheduled
syncs in tut background, dunno if the freeware will do that, but hey this
Filezilla thingy is good for an audit that syncback [way cool software as
well] is doing it's job.

Big fan of Filezilla too for general ftp.

But rsync doesn't work over FTP. He'd need an SSH shell or the
like to tunnel it, or a proper rsync daemon to connect to.

I think lftp has a "mirror mode" though, and it's pretty standard
for Linux installs.
