Mirroring a local directory to webspace via FTP?

Just wondering what others use? It would be great there is a FTP util that scans a directory (and subs) and only transferred updates (also deletes remote files no longer existing in local dir). Anything?

windows commander, well, sort of

and netload, well, sort of

with remote stuff you (may) loose time / date info which makes it difficult

Isn't Windows Commander now Total Commander?

Being a cheapskate b'stard I should have mentioned "free" as well

Really cheap method (if time is cheap):

Write a script that recursively mines your website, outputting a list of files and attributes.
Write a PB program that calls the script and compares the result with previous list.
Download where there are differences.

You could try SyncBack. There is a freeware version that is really good.
