Isn't there an ftp virtual filesystem? Then you could rsync over that.

HTTPFS (from Plan9) http://okmij.org/ftp/HTTP-VFS.html
GnomeVFS http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gnome-vfs/

MC allows you do somthing like this:http://www.linuxmafia.com/faq/Security/fish-protocol.html

(limited googling.)

Anyone have any suggestions on how to sync a local directory (and subdirectories) containing static webpages with a remote site via FTP?


I'm helping a local group with their website. If I had a choice, I'd be using rsync over ssh. But the remote site is ftp-only. ncftpget will allow me to update any newer pages that have been added to the site, but how can I upload just new pages? My initial thought would be to ncftpget everything down to my local machine, then rsync locally, trash everything on the remote site, and then ncftpput the all the pages including updates back to the remote site.

Can rsync work over ftp?  Any other ideas?
