Robocopy is in the Windows Resource Kit AFAIK, it's a pretty powerful
command line tool that you can script to keep folders in sync. 

As an example, 

robocopy C:\source \\server\C$\source *.cf* /E /XD .svn

This would copy *everything* from C:\source to the destination that matched
the *.cf* file pattern and would "eXclude Directories" that have .svn in
their names. 

You could use the /MIR command to mirror a directory structure too...

If you are deploying to multiple servers, you'd still have to FTP (but only
to one) then script a batch file using robocopy to mirror the latest code to
all the other servers.... Eg to mirror to 3 servers your batch file would
look something like this...

robocopy C:\source \\server1\C$\source *.* /MIR
robocopy C:\source \\server2\C$\source *.* /MIR
robocopy C:\source \\server3\C$\source *.* /MIR

Of course robocopy is a very powerful tool and I haven't even scratched the
surface of what it can do here... It also requires that you have full
control over your servers so you can run scripts on them and that they can
all see each other in a Windows Network and can access shares (hidden or
not).

If it were possible though, I really would recommend using SVN or similar...
So many less headaches so much more spare time!
